From Calgary Alberta’s Big Rock Brewery comes their new Limited Release the “Dark Cherry Abbey Ale” a Belgian Abby Style Ale. The beer pours a deep brown colour with a brown head. The aroma consists of cherry, plumb, chocolate, roasted malts and sweetness. The flavor is of chocolate, banana, bubbble gum, plum, cherry, roasted malts and an overall sweetness. The alcohol content comes in at 9.5%. This kind of beer is not for everyone but I think this is one of the better winter style beers. I would drink it again for sure.
