Cold Spring Brewing Company
Cold Spring, Minnesota, USA
Double fermented Cream Ale blended 50/50 with our Brown Ale
And aged with Brandy Oak Spirals
9.3% abv
Appearance: muddy brown with a very thin light tan head and
not much on the lacing front; the color settles to a dark chestnut
Aroma: light on the nose when it is fresh out of the fridge;
toasted malts; toffee; touch of brown sugar; maybe a hint of that Brandy Oak
Spirals – the Brandy note shows up more as the ale warms up;
Flavors: firm toasted malts; toffee, vanilla; light alcohol peppery
spice; lightly burnt brown sugar; the oak comes thru on the taste buds with a
touch of Brandy
Mouthfeel: low carbonation – very light fizzy feel;
medium-full body; alcohol warmth; almost creamy feel; the oak comes thru on the
aftertaste with the toasted malts;
To the Point: nothing overpowering here; making for an easy
to drink Brandy Oak Spiral Aged Ale; enjoyable sipper; remember sipper – for it
is easy to drink – the alcohol does not really play a big role in the flavor; let
this ale sit for 20 minutes or so before serving; I would buy this again; this
is my first bottle and I’ll give it a B+ at this time
