This is our special ale from the brewers at Anchor. It is sold only from early November to mid-January. The Ale’s recipe is different every year, but the intent with which we offer it remains the same: joy and celebration of the newness of life. Since ancient times, trees have symbolized the winter solstice when the earth, with its seasons appears born anew.

Influenced by Meat Sauce Messiah Closing beer after getting run roughshod for ten hours, but everything came out ace, so a successful day all around. Nice having an experienced staff. Great job by all today.

Dark beer, thick head. Smells malty with spices. Cloves and cinnamon. The Christmas smell. Flavour follows suit. Loads of spice up front, malt, some caramel, a hint of chocolate. A touch of boozy warmth. Very drinkable. A proper Christmas beer.
