Christmas Ale Aged in Chardonnay Barrels with Cherries and Brettanomyces The base beer for Bishop’s Barrel No. 19 is Christmas Ale, our rich, hearty ale brewed for the holiday season. We aged it in Chardonnay barrels with tart cherries and three strains of brettanomyces. It pours with a very slight veil and ruby highlights. Aroma? Think toasted pie crust and cherry pie with powdered sugar followed by funky, earthy notes and subtle white grape. Taste? It starts with a light acidity that is quickly balanced with a cherry/caramel sweetness. This beer has a light-medium body and is dry yet with a long, wine like finish.
