El Segundo Barrel Aged Santas Secret Stash

The West Coast hop masters at California's El Segundo Brewing Company are pivoting from their legendary IPAs to deliver a true winter masterpiece with Barrel Aged Santa's Secret Stash. This robust, high strength Spiced Christmas Ale takes their fan-favorite holiday brew and rests it for over a year in premium French Rhum JM barrels. It pours a striking, deep mahogany brown with a thick, frothy tan foam. On the nose, it hits you with a wildly complex aromatic payload of molasses, dark caramelized sugars, and festive baking spices, balanced by a distinct, boozy rum warmth. The palate is full-bodied, velvety, and deeply comforting, layering sweet dark stone fruits, candied orange peel, and smooth oak tannins. It is a wonderfully layered, slow sipping holiday treat built beautifully for a cracking cheese board or pairing with spiced fruit cake.
