Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailLion's Share V: Anniversary Ale

For our fifth anniversary brew we looked to the Highlands of Scotland for inspiration, imagining a beer fit for a king. The traditional Scottish ale fit the bill nicely, featuring rich malt and a subtle smokiness, but not too cloying or heavy for a summer release. Thus we give you Lion’s Share V, our interpretation of an old-world style with a new-world twist. Aged for months in both 26-year-old Speyside, single malt Scotch whisky barrels and American oak bourbon barrels, it features an array of flavors while never allowing one note to overpower another. The peat smoke intermingles nicely with the vanilla notes from the bourbon, while toffee, honey, and candied fruit round out the beer. The resulting blend is a delicious dram that we think you’ll enjoy sharing with others. We thank you for supporting us these past five years and sharing in our labor of love.
