Very pleasant and strong aromas of Christmas pudding, dried fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg. Taste of dried fruits, cinnamon, nutmeg. Good mouthfeel; medium carbonation. Lacks much of an aftertaste. Flavours more subtle than some of their other offerings, but probably more enjoyable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

330 ml bottle Found at berry bottle shop. How odd. Muddy orange amber color. No real head, just a ring of lacing. Spice driven nose. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and all spice. Slight fig, orange peel and cherry as well. Fig, slight sour dark cherry and nutmeg taste. Somewhat thin and watery. Highly carbonated and light bodied. Dry with a sour cherry finish. So so ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

ChrisO ’Night Of The Gaylords’ tasting. Hazy brown beer. Sourish fruity nose. Light fruity palate. Subtle figgy plummy dark fruit. A little sourness in the semi dry finish.

330ml Bottle - Dark brown with red tinges and a foamy head. Dried fruit, mince pies and cloves in the aroma. Fruity, tangy and slightly sweet taste with notes of blackcurrant, Christmas pudding and spice.

Bottle from Plonk. Couldn’t find it anywhere in Sydney, but happened to run into it in Canberra. Pours a cola brown with a medium size tan head. Definate cinnamon and nutmeg in the aroma. Flavours were dark fruits and berries, but overpowered by a strong sour, wasn’t sure if it was infected or was meant to be that way. Nice though!

nutmeg and cinnamon in the flavor. Smells like cola, not too strange since it has those two spices. Most striking is the distinct sour end, but no aftertaste to speak of.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with tan coloured head. Good lacing. Nice looking beer. Aromas of dark fruit, cinamon and nitmeg. A little vinegar comes through as it warms. Flavours are a little thin. A little sweetness followed by a decent sourness on the end. Quite oily looking in the glass though a little thin on the palate. High carbonation. Yep did really enjoy this one,

Clear medium to dark brown color with a average to large, frothy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel, sipy - christmas spices, glue, wine. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20091229]

A Mes rate. Bottle at Chris O’s Night of the Gaylords.
Hazy brown with a thin off white head. Full on christmas stuff. Very puddingy, a shit load of spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and loads of yeast. It’s the full seasonal beer that is so hit or miss for me. This one was almost a miss but not quite.

Bottled@The Chriso Gaylord Tasting. Reddish amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is hops, fruits, wood and some mild notes of caramel malts. Flavour is quite spicy along with some fruits, raisins, sweet malts as well as mild mild nuttyness.
