| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | Dec 15, 2007 Bottle. Pours a nice, deep brown with a great head (hehe). Aroma of earthy vegetables and stale hops that do nothing for me. Ugh! I sipped this crap and was greeted with garbage-disposal vegetables and mutant (yes, mutant) malt. Yuck. Watery mouthfeel. I assume the reindeer in question are revolting against being implicated in this crappy beverage. Tmoney99 (4763), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
