Holiday Ale is a Biere de Noel, an offshoot of the Biere de Garde style. Traditionally this style was made by just a handful of small farmhouse breweries in France during the few weeks leading up to Christmas. It has a deep malt flavor with notes of treacle, toasted malt, and caramel. The malt character is accented by a mild herbal presence of French Strisselspalt and Aramis hops.

Pours a slightly hazy copper from a bottle. Biscuity caramel aroma and flavor, big mouthfeel and very sweet. Okay beer.

22 ounce bottle. Dark Amber with a large frothy beige head. Faint bready malt aroma. Flavor is toasted malt with notes of caramel and baked bread. Some notes of red fruit and toasted nuts. Some spicy hops in finish. Dry bitter notes in aftertaste. Lacks complexity, but OK overall.
