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.

Bottle from Aldi. A slightly bland Christmas ale compared to others but after a while, one gets some lively Christmas flavours coming through.

0.5 l bottle from a local store in Slovenske Konjice, Slovenia. Thanks Zvonko&Monika. Light spicy, light malty, toasty. Nuts and dry fruits aroma, overripe fruit or candy. Perfumed. Light body, medium carbonation, abrupt finish. Spicy after. Nice, but weak.

500ml bottle. Clear, mahogany colour with copper glimmer and average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, sulphureous head. Mellow malty and slightly spicy aroma, hints of caramel, cherry, some cinnamon. Taste is moderately sweet malty, fruity, hints of dried fruit, cherry, banana chips, a touch of cinnamon, hoppy overtones with a touch of mint, mint toffee. Unspectacular but quite nice.

Bottle. Clear amber body with a thin beige head that fades. Aroma of caramel, toffee and dried leaves. Flavour follows the aroma. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. Sweet and spicy.
