I wrote: "Fireside Chat. Winter Spiced Ale. 7.9% ABV. 45 IBUS. 12 FL OZ. Can. Seasonal Release. 21st Amendment Brewery. Initially tasted like a porter. Chocolate. Eventually had a nutty, roasted taste. Enjoyable. Slightly bitter aftertaste on the tongue. After trying so long to appreciate smells and tastes in beer, I still can't quite pick up any of the smells and tastes that other people writing beer reviews on BeerAdvocate.com. Being told that nutmeg is a primary scent in this beer, I suppose I can detect it. Then again, I'm not entirely sure I know what nutmeg tastes like! Perhaps I'll go buy some tomorrow." 10:16 PM

Like FDR's Depression-era radio addresses, which were like a kick in the butt and a hug at the same time, our Fireside Chat is a subtle twist on the traditional seasonal brew. We begin with a rich, dark, English-style ale and then we improvise with spices until we know we have a beer worth sharing with the nation.

Fireside Chat is our early winter seasonal brew available from October through December in six pack cans and on draft. Brewed like a classic, warming Strong Ale but with a subtle blend of hand-selected spices for just the right festive flair.
