Inn Keeper

◎ Appearance

A clear ruby-red body with bright mahogany tones, characteristic of its carefully selected malt blend. The head forms dense and off-white, establishing good retention and lacing around the glass as you drink. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating fine, persistent bubbles that underscore the ale's substance.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with dark red currants and forest fruit notes, layered with warm toffee and caramel sweetness. Vienna and Chateau Biscuit malts contribute an underlying biscuity complexity, while Target and Simcoe hops add subtle herbal and stone fruit undertones that complement rather than dominate.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers biscuit and caramel at the forefront, transitioning smoothly into stone fruit and peach notes mid-palate. The German and Belgian malt blend creates a rich, toasty body with substantial sweetness, while the balanced bitterness emerges cleanly in the finish without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering caramel and dark fruit notes that fade gradually. A warming sensation builds gently, true to the winter warmer style, without leaving an astringent aftertaste.
