This stout is black in color, and impenetrable by light. It offers a wonderful coffee and vanilla nose, complements of the locally roasted coffee and bourbon vanilla extract in the brew. It is very smooth, thick, rich and creamy. Holy GrALE ends on a delectable sweet note, with hints of chocolate and vanilla lingering on your palate. It is the perfect winter ale.
