Santa's Socks by Liberty Brewing is a captivating Red Ale - American Amber / Red that promises a delightful sensory experience. Boasting an alcohol volume of 5.0%, this brew from Liberty Brewing delivers an aroma that is intense with roastiness, hinting at dark chocolate, molasses, and a subtle sweetness. The flavor profile is equally intriguing, as it initially explodes with bold roasted flavors reminiscent of bitter chocolate and espresso beans. The mid-palate is rich and creamy, with notes of cocoa powder, caramel, and a hint of licorice. The finish lingers with a bitterness from the roasted malts, balanced by a subtle sweetness from the lactose. The full and velvety body, coupled with a low to medium carbonation, enhances the smoothness and richness of this indulgent brew. Santa's Socks is a robust and captivating imperial milk stout that showcases the bold flavors of roasted malts, making it a perfect sipper for cold winter nights or holiday celebrations.
