Everyone typically associates the holiday season with either turkey or ham, that's just the way it is. Personally our family goes turkey, but the ham is a golden standard that has men and women alike pulling raw slices from a dish and acquiring taco-neck syndrome to reel it all in.
I saw this and thought there's no way that they were able to put the essence of a glazed ham into a beer. First off, it would taste awful funky, and secondly, how would you even go about doing it in the process? Just throw a whole ham into the fermenting tank and let that puppy marinate for three weeks? My mind was being thoroughly freaked and so I had to try this bad dad out.
This beer is more of a complimentary style to go with while eating ham rather than actually tasting like it. It's a super dark porter, borderline stout that starts off a bit sweet like brown sugar or caramel, somewhat similar to the glaze on a ham. Despite all that though it has a smokey flavor added in with a kick of bitterness on the back end as if it were whiskey barrel cask conditioned. Definitely a winter beer and for those really interested in maxed out taste.
