Breckenridge Christmas Ale

A dark brown ale with a thick moka head. A nutty aroma with light chocolate notes and hops. In mouth, a solid nutty malt, with light molasses, some British hopping. Medium bodied. On tap at Ballpark brewpub 24 Jan. 2009.

Has a nice malt and hops aroma. Color is a nice dark amber but then again it’s pretty dark in my office. The beer has a great flavor and after taste. I think the spices are just right. Not to over powering. A very good Christmas Ale in my books. Even better is I got the six pack on sell considering it is March now.

Dark brown coloured body with strong ruby tints on the edge and a decent sized tan head. Aroma of malt, cardboard, alcohol and a light amount of hops. Light-bodied; Mild malty flavour with some very very very light spices and some short hops. Aftertaste shows nothing much, just water and cardboard. Overall, a very mild beer not having much character - especially for this style and this seasonal! Avoid this one if possible, unless you truly must have every seasonal available to you. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Joe’s Place in Norman, Oklahoma on 13 January 2007.

Decent beer with a poor aftertaste. Has plenty of hoppy elements in it. Nice if you like that sort of thing.

Bottle: Pours a nice mahogany color with a small off white head. Aroma of spices, malts, alcohol and roasted nuts. Taste of dried fruit, light hops and roasted nuts. Has a slight sweet finish. Not bad at all.

(Sample Date: 1/1/2009 Source:Mekong) Spicy nose. Clear light brown with small white head. Nice malty and spicy flavor profile with light body.

Pours a very dark mahogany color with a very little head. Smell is that of hops and rich malts. Good caramel taste, but not to much. Good rich Christmas ale. Good brew.

Appearance is dark in color, the head is light, aroma is a light and nutty, the mouth feel is light, the taste is coffee and brown sugar, the finish is long
