One of the things i asked for for Christmas last year was a rare beer club membership. Nobody got it for me. So i just got it for myself. And so far, one of the wonderful brews that's been sent my way is the Ancient Vortex, a Belgian style dark ale brewed with raw cacao and candi sugar from
Strange Roots Experimental Ales out of Pittsburgh. The 9.2% ABV beer pours a dark, brownish black with a tan head, and smells of chocolate, dark fruits, and Belgian yeast. Flavors of dark fruit, malty caramel, and notes of dark chocolate abound in a beer with a light feel and medium body. And it's surprisingly easy to drink too. Bring on some more rare brews.
