Developed for Mr. and Mrs. Hunters wedding in Sept 2010. The original recipe was made to be a low ABV percentage to be consumed in high quantities. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter kept a 750ml bottle to open on their first anniversary. The current version was nade for maximum vanilla and caramel flavoring.
Tasting Notes: From the nose it has a warm vanilla and caramel aromas and a delicate aroma from the Hallertau hops. Having a medium body this beer goes down very smooth; on the palate the vanilla is present but not cloying. Residual sweetness is from the Crystal malts and added Lactose.
**Warning, if you are lactose intolerant this beer contains lactose!!
