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.

Old rating. 500 ml bottle from Old Town. Clear amber with a modest off-white head that lingers a little bit. Aromas of ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon with some biscuit and toffee notes as well. Taste is more of the same with a watery body. Taste is kind of spice cabinet with some malty sweetness. Not enough body I guess. Easy drinking though.

Aroma is full-on cinnamon, but the taste is more delicate. Not bad at all.

Small beige head over red-amber beer. Hops, caramel, peanuts, hint at diacetyl, parsley. Don’t get the cinnamon. Bitterish, hoppy, faintly metallic and herbal flavours. Quite balanced, far from bad. Caramel retronasal, caramel glazed cookies. Again, no cinnamon (nor banana...) Light body, slight slickness, light but titillating carbonation. As said, far from bad.
