Commercial Description:\u00a0<\/strong>
\nA delicious Northwest seasonal brewed with winter in mind. A dark do\u00fcble alt ale, malty and delicious, it’s sure to keep the winter at bay. And yes, Sleigh’r does rock!<\/p>\n

An alt ferments with ale yeast at colder lagering temperatures. This effect gives alts a more refined and crisp lager-like flavor than traditional ales. The do\u00fcble alt means that it has been \u201cNinkasified.” Regular alts are 5 to 5.5 percent ABV and 40 IBU’s. Sleigh’r has a deep, toasted malt flavor that finishes dry and has 7.2 percent ABV and 50 IBU’s keeping it in a perfect alt balance!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why I selected Ninkasi Sleigh\u2019r:\u00a0<\/strong>
\n\u201cNow, Dash\u2019er! Now Dance\u2019er! Now, Panzer and Vex\u2019em.\u201d \u201cOn Comet! On Cupid! Oh, Darn-it I\u2019m Blitzed, son!\u201d This double-dark altbier will have your nose glowing like Rudolph the Reign-In-Blood Deer at (well for the style) a \u201cwhopping\u201d 7.2%. Sleigh\u2019r is warming, yet crisp; this beer is perfect for pairing with food and dessert as well as deglazing that deliciously crusty roasting pan you were thinking about contaminating with Carlo Rossi\u2014Just stop! This beer made amazing mushroom gravy that I cooked up from the sucs of a diabolus duck, porcini, rosemary, and garlic: I called it Seasoning in the Abyss.<\/p>\n

Flavor wise,\u00a0 Sleigh\u2019r is toasty and slightly roasty with a dry nutty coco finish and light mouthfeel.\u00a0 Instead of leaving cookies for Santa on the household hearth\/Altar of Sacrifice, make sure you leave him a nice bomber of Ninkasi Sleigh\u2019r to finish his War-m Ensemble and carry him through the Witching Hour\u2026. Have I made my Hallowed Point? Terrible references and puns aside, I truly enjoy this beer and look forward to making it part of my holiday table, it will Cleanse The Soul and the palate alike.<\/p>\n
