A - Pours a light cola color with a 1 finger khaki head.
S - Brown sugar, prunes, candied ham, roasted malt, sorghum, maraschino cherries, smashed sesame seeds, wood. Some sour notes. It smells like a Christmas ham.
T - Brown sugar and dark malt mixes with salty nuts. Prunes and other dark fruits reside in the background. Spiced oranges come out as it warms. A sour bitterness cuts in on the finish.

It really smells like a cooked Christmas ham. Lots of interesting flavors. I could not drink more than 1 or 2 in a row.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Láhev 355 ml. 2012 Christmas Ale. Po nalití má pivo tmavě rudou barvu, krásnou pro oko, pěna je vysoká zlatohnědá s jemnými až středně velkými bublinkami, poměrně držící. Aroma připomíná jemnou kávu s bonbóny, také pomerančová kůra a jiné koření, velmi zajímavá kombinace. Chuťově je pivo opravdu originální, příjemná chuť kávy snoubená s pomerančovou kůrou a banánem doplněná hořkostí připomínající slabší kávu a dotažená kyselejším závěrem. Jedná se o velmi zajímavé pivo, originální a výjimečné.
