Alpha King's festive cousin. A big American Xmas Porter brewed with English chocolate malt, Mexican sugar and, of course, tons of strange American hops.

Christmas in June. 12 oz. bottle from Craft Brewed in Nashville, TN. Pours a super dark brown color with a large tight light brown head and great retention. Great lacing too. Coffee and treacle/molasses aroma. Similar flavors: Roasted coffee and malts are dominant with a strong treacle/molasses finish. Medium-heavy body. Semi-slick mouthfeel. Low carbonation and light bitterness. Classic porter, but too much molasses for me.

12 ounce bottle. opaque black brown color. Small bubbly tan head. Roasted malt aroma is somewhat subdued. Flavor is roasted malt and treacle. Quite hoppy for a Porter. Resiny hops throughout. Complex and potent.

Thanks JC. Nice aroma, kind of smells like a black IPA. Hoppy, bit of spice maybe, mint maybe. Taste is interesting, much more porter like. Bit spicy, dry, light chili, dry and bit smoky. Enjoyable!

355ml bottle from Beermiscious, Chicago. Sweet, syrupy, spicy and roasty with some chocolate, cinnamon, licorice and coffee. Okay, quite spicy and sweetish roasty stout.

Near black with a half inch tan head. Cocoa, light spices, hop forward, citrus. Medium bodied. Finish has a little heat and the spices tinge the side of the tongue a bit. Very interesting and quite enjoyable.

This isn't nearly as good as the last time I had it. Aroma is roast, cocoa, and hops. Flavor is Hops and bitter with a little bit of roast and cocoa. Body is slightly on the thin side okay finish.

Pours black into a snifter. Mocha head with good retention recedes to skim surface. Cocoa and nutmeg aromas. Soft with chocolate and dry espresso front to back. Thanks TAR for the trade.
