First Frost (2010) | Fullsteam
ABV: 8.8%
Style: Winter Warmer
Out of Production
Description: Persimmon (Diospyros Virginiana) — literally, “fruit of the gods.” Sweet and savory, with natural notes of cinnamon and apricot, the orange-globed persimmon fruit truly is heavenly. But it’s not until after the first frost that persimmon turns from astringent and bitter to a luscious fruit worthy of the gods. This bountiful yield produced a complex, fruit- forward winter ale. The beer’s notes of holiday spices come entirely from the native persimmon and the beer’s Belgian ale yeast. This is not a winter warmer. We're not even sure it's a winter ale. At 10% ABV, it's a strong beer -- a fireplace ale for sure -- brewed with the harvest in mind, not a specific style.
