Velvet Smoking Jacket Peat Smoked Ale  5.3% ABV

At 5.3%, this is an easy drinking beer that is especially suited for winter and spring, though it will be good year round.  Supporting notes of apple and pear from judicious hopping compliment spice notes coming from a bag of rye malt and a Belgian yeast strain (propagated by our local friends at RVA yeast), which are brought together with a dash of the peat smoked barley.  A little bit of many flavors give this relatively small beer a uniquely complex taste.
