Bah Humbug is a brew using not just the traditional malted barley and hops, but also a big sprinkling of cinnamon. The effect of the cinnamon is to give a spicy, almost banana-like flavour as often found on German wheat beers; and this blends with the sweet-honeyed flavours of the Maris Otter barley to create a beer with all the fruit flavours of mince pies, Christmas Pudding and Christmas cake all rolled into one.

i really enoyed this.....lots a character to this beer. Nice amber/ dark red color, quick dissipating head. aroma is dried fruit, malt, and lots of cinnamon. flavour is much of the same, but the cinnamon takes a back seat to a nice bittering inthe finish, and a great cinnamon aftertaste. really enjoyable, i wish i would have grabbed more bottles.

Cask @ JDW Montomery's Tower. Relatively clear amber pour. Good spiced fruitcake nose. Taste is disappointingly thin and watery, some mild amber malt and spiced expressions, but generally falls flat.

[Cask at 4.3% at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A copper coloured pour with a tight cream coloured head; sour fruity aroma; taste of caramel, red fruit and a little Christmas spice; then a dry spicy biscuity finish. A straightforward Christmas ale, not really to my taste.

5% Version. Optisch dunkles Kupfer, in der Nase tatsächlich etwas Banane, sonst sehr malzig, Karamell. Im Trunk sehr weihnachtlich, erinnert etwas an Glühwein, könnten die Gewürze sein, kippt hinten aber sehr schnell in bitter-wässrige. Muss ich kein zweites Mal haben.
