The Side Trail Series is back in 2016! With winter in full force, we’ve got a little something to help get your fire started. This love potion is infused with four different aphrodisiacs: oysters (meat and shells), chocolate, chili peppers, and of course, everyone’s favorite, alcohol. Think of it as a kind of natural ale enhancement.
Carpet Burn brew pours pitch black with a creamy, long lasting tan head. The initial aroma is of rich dark chocolate with subtle roasted peppers. The flavor adds a mild sweetness, hints of dates, and roasted malt. It finishes with a slight lingering head with mild roast character and heat. This beer will be available on draught in all Upland locations starting this month.
Food pairings: Oysters, beef or venison, barbecue, spicy Mexican dishes, mellow blue cheeses, dark chocolate or chocolate cake.
ABV: 7% IBU: 20
