Dec 15, 2005 Merry christmas? Well not with this one I’m sad to say. An average xmas beer- anis taste and a bit malty.

Dec 12, 2005 Thanks to Dickinsonbeer for bringing this to the Yeha. Poured a murky brown with an off-white head. Spicy aroma of anise and cinnamon though with a touch of bubble gum that I found unappealing. Taste is sweet and spicy caramel and cloves with a dry finish. Pretty straight-forward christmas ale.

Dec 11, 2005 Poured a hazy brown color with a small, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malt, earthy yeast, nuts and light spices. Taste of caramel malt, nuts, light roast, anise, light citrus fruits, and peppery alcohol in the finish. Thinner than average mouthfeel.

Dec 11, 2005 I had high expectations from this Christmas ale, but the taste is much too bitter to my liking and is is not aromatic enough. Too bad.

Dec 5, 2005 Bottled.
Muddy dark brown. Toffee, sugar and alcohol in aroma. Fruity, rich malty, fluffy mouthfeel, fiery alcohol flavour/mouthfeel with notes of anise and also a little peppery from the big abv. Pretty long finish.
