Feb 13, 2007 This is one of my favorite beers ever. Great beer to have around for the cool weather. I stockpile this like no other beer since it has limited availability.

Jul 16, 2005 Great winter brew! Good body and head to it. Liter bottles go fast. Start looking in October for it and grab it when you can find it. Worth buying a few when you can get them.

Aug 2, 2005 The Festive Ale is amazing. It’s Sweetwater’s high gravity Christmas brew. This is an absolute must try for any serious beer drinker.

Dec 3, 2008 Every time i drink this i think of the same thing.... Liquified Christmas Cookies! Take all the different types of cookies you can get during the holidays and throw them all in a blender! Sweetwater Festive Ale! 12oz bottle - 6pack from Publix Grocery store - Pours a minimal light brown,tan head almost looks like the froth of hot chocolate, that dissapates quikly, dark ruby red/mahogony color. Smells like a German dopple bock...Taste like chocolate, molassas, ginger, dark roasted black coffee, figs. Mouth feel is sticky sweet, the alcohol is very well disguised for a 8.6% Get some when you can it wont be around long!!

Nov 19, 2002 Updated: Dec 9, 20042002- I saved this one for my 200th rating and was not disappointed. Pours nice and dark with a lasting head. Flavor is malty with a hint of spiciness. The flavors intensify as the beer warms. Finishes nice and smooth.
2004-Another great Sweetwater beer.

Feb 20, 2007 I like to think of this beer in the same context as I do Boulevard Brewery’s "Bob’s ’47", as it’s a delicious brew that begins a little on the thick side, but before you know it, your pint glass is empty and you’re feeling pretty good, pretty fast ;)
