Next up in the sampler tasting is the Old Fezziwig Ale. I've never had one of these but it smacks at first taste of a phenolic dunkel and matches color of a deep brown. It's namesake comes from The Christmas Past spirit in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Made with 2-row pale, Munich 10, chocolate malt and Caramel 60. Oddly enough it also has the same Noble hops that are in the Boston Lager. First brewed in 1995 and discontinued, it's popularity brought it back in the Winter Sampler in 2000. 5.9%abv and 210cal/12oz.
