The Gävle Goat is a Christmas display made of straw. Each year it is created and each year it is the target of arson attacks and has been burned to the ground most years since its first appearance in 1966. Each of our brewers submitted a beer idea for our first annual holiday brew. This Christmas ale with spruce, cinnamon, nutmeg and cocoa nibs won. The beer pours dark brown with a breads aroma, a rich earthy body, flavours of spicy baked goods and a resinous, evergreen finish from the spruce. This is our new tradition. This is our Gävle Goat. Will it survive or will it burn?

Can: Poured a clear dark brown color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of lightly caramelized malt with some spiced notes that includes cinnamon and cloves. Taste is also a mix of lightly caramelized malt with some light residual sugar notes with light cloves, cardamom and cinnamon notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable spiced winter warmer type of beer.
