This is the season for this beer! An excellent “food-beer” geared for fall. 2003 Pilgrim’ Dole took a Silver Medal at the 2007 GABF in the Vintage Beer Category.
Pilgrim’s Dole is a barleywine-style ale made with fifty percent wheat malt, or what New Holland calls a wheatwine. Pilgrim’s Dole blends warming and slightly sweet flavors with a unique caramelized character. It would be an excellent accent to nutty dishes, fruit crisps or creme brulee. I also like it on it’s own.
Look for it starting Nov. 14, 2011. In the past it was available in 22oz bottles; this year it will be available in 12 oz 4 packs (you’ll understand why when you see the alcohol content).
OG: 25° Plato
Alc. 11.4% by Vol.
