We bring in the final weekend of this Beery Christmas Advent Calendar with Grenade Edition from the unorthodox German brewery Crew Republic! A Barleywine beer that really puts you in the mood for the last weekend before Christmas.

This beer gives off warming smells of alcohol, with a whole range of other aromas. Maybe you can smell them - pine, biscuit and bread malt, plum, sultana, marmalade and salty caramel butter. Woody flavours are added to the taste too. Grenade Edition has a sweet and sour taste because of the marmalade and dried fruit. The aftertaste is long and sweet with caramel and, again, sultanas. A beer to drink slowly, close to the fireplace!
