Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBarrel Aged Ale of the Hermit

This beer is one of four unique barrel-aged beers tapped by Hermitage Brewing Company on Thursday, May 15, 2014, at 4pm in their Tasting Room, located at 1627 South 7th Street in San Jose. Ale of the Hermit is a curious brew shrouded in mystery. Based on an ancient recipe, and using brewing methods long forgotten by most modern brewers, the Hermit defies simple style classification. The beer greets your palate with a solid malt body of sweet caramel, balanced by an assertive hop bitterness.
