If you have met Sam Payne, you have probably met Ruby the dog, our mascot. Ruby is a rescue dog that has come a long way in her 4 years with us and we love her to bits, as do most when they meet her. This beer is an homage to her. It is strong, unique and a ton of fun. This beer is delicious and is a celebration of Ruby the dog on her 4th birthday. English Strong Ale or English Old Ale. This is a bit of a catch all term, meaning this is a high strength beer, that has some malt sweetness, and the hops are there strictly for balance. We decided to age this beer with French Oak for three weeks and the result is a distinctive oak character you typically find in wine, whiskey, bourbon, or scotch; but instead, in a beer. This beer is absolutely delicious Alcohol: 6.9% Style of Beer: English Strong Ale Appearance: deep amber Aroma: caramel, vanilla, bourbon, touch of butterscotch Flavour: caramel malt sweetness,tea leaf hop flavour; very little hop bitterness Finish: fruit, caramel, vanilla; touch of booze Food Pairings: Charcuterie, pate, terrines, fois gras Seafood: grilled shrimp, grilled scallops, crab, lobster Duck: Chinese styled BBQ; duck sausage Pork: Chinese BBQ Pork; southern style pulled pork; pork pies, smoked pork, smoked ham and bacon Desserts: bread pudding, baked custards or flans, carrot cake, dulche de leche, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie, Quebequois sugar pie Note: Duck and pork would pair really well with a sweet or fruit sauce; traditional Southern BBQ should be killer with this beer.
