Once a year Avery Brewing Co. releases Samael’s the first of their Demonic Series of beers. This is a beer where the apt descriptors are: Intense, treat with great care, bourbon-like aroma along with vanilla and toasted wood. Flavors of plum, raisin, caramel and vanilla. One bottle can easily serve 3-4 as an after dinner cordial.

This year’s version comes in at 15.47% ABV. Be wary of driving for 2-3 days if you polish off the 12 oz. bottle by yourself. Cellarable for 5,8 even 10+ years when kept in a dark, cool location. Thank you Avery Brewing Co. for your passion! Chris
