Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailThe Sixth Glass

”Do you know what dwells in a glass?” asks Ole, in Hans Christian Andersen's The Watchman of the Tower. Better known for stories such as The Little Mermaid, Andersen wrote this short, cautionary tale for a somewhat older audience. Our quadruple ale, also meant for the mature connoisseur, is a deep and mysterious libation, dark auburn and full-bodied, its sweetness deceptive. As Ole describes the glasses in turn, their contents become more ominous until, in the sixth glass... Cloudy orange red colored with a huge beige head. Sweet and spicy aroma of fruits, yeast and caramel with notes of wood. Sweet and spicy flavor of caramel, licorice, fruits and alcohol. Warming alcoholic finish.
