Description
It all started with a humble homebrew kit and the drive to make better beer. Tired of the same bland and dated choices everywhere, Air Force friends Eric Wallace and Dick Doore set out to make the kind of beer that excited them; beer they wanted to drink. A hobby quickly became an obsession and it wasn't long before Left Hand Brewing opened for business on January 22, 1994. Left Hand has steadily increased its production, making the Brewers Association’s Top 50 Craft Brewers list in 2012.

Pour is a dark brow with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice mix of roasty malts and nuts. Flavor is not so good. Pretty bland and boring. After two good drinks i can detect nothin. Maybe a little malts in there but that’s it. Very light and boring.

(Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Dark brown, with very little head. Medium body, lots of spices, definitely cinnamon and ginger. Tastes very much like swedish ginger biscuits. A bit on the sweet side for my taste. Very "christmasy". Definitely worth a taste.

Draught. Dark ruby colour, small foamy beige head, lacing. Sweet redwineish fruity nose. Flavour is kind of strange fruity, with hints of olives. Might the the clove combines with something else which makes the strange mix. Long spicy aftertaste. Christmassy indeed.

Clear, dark copper pour with miniscule beige head. Aroma if malty, both sweet and earthy. The flavor is slightly sweet with notes of raisin and caramel. Dry mouthfeel from the thin to medium body. Moderate finish. Refreshing.

Dark ruby, small off-white head. Spicey strong aroma (cloves). Sweetish, christmasy spicey (clove also here) flavor. Long spicey aftertaste. Quite ordinary XMas-brew.

Decent porter except the finish is a little too crisp. Sweet, malty aroma with hints of chocolate, nuts. Flavor starts sweet and nutty exposing tastes of chocolate, brown sugar, roasted malts. Slightly bitter finish. Medium body with bubbly carbonation.

Bottle. Aroma is a little moldy. Unclear, very dark brown colour. Peppery, slightly cardboardy flavour. Sweetish aftertaste. I prefer the non-oaked version.
