Commercial Description:
Nutcracker Ale is Boulevard's special offering for the holiday season. This hearty, warming brew is a classic winter ale, deep amber in color, with hints of molasses balanced by the "spiciness" of Chinook hops.

Reddish-brown colour, with a muddy complexion. Aroma is earthy, lightly spicy (cinammon). The flavour is earthy, slightly minerally, with hints of molasses and mint. A little bit spritzy in the body. Thanks TTB!

Bottled (thanks heemer77!). Amber colour, mediumsized beuige creamy head. Aroma is hops, malts, some grass and caramel. Flavour is really flowery hops with much grass. Also some burnt sugary hints in the flavour.
