Dark brown with a foamy, off-white head. Aroma promises a mix of Christmas spices with undertones of toasted grain and smoke. Taste is bitter with a moderate roasted tone throughout. Spicy at the end with lingering clove on the tongue. Body to the full side of medium, nice chewy and malty base, moderate carbonation. Definitely one of the better Christmas beers I’ve tried—there’s harmony here between the spices and the slightly smoky dark beer underneath. Nice!

Gold with a foamy, white head. Floral aroma with pepper and dough. Taste is moderate bitter up front, increasingly herbal and spiced at the back. Lightish body, moderate watery texture, moderate carbonation. A little more chewiness would do it good. Ok.

Gold with a foamy, white head. Aroma promises white wine, pears, and marshmallow. Dry, mildly bitter and a touch earthy. Faint tartness, lingering lemon zest and white wine. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Easygoing and untypical. Pleasant.

Ruby red with a frothy, off-white head. Caramel aroma with roasted tones. Nutty. Faint red currant. Taste is mildly bitter throughout. Body to the light side of medium, moderate watery texture. I’d prefer a little more chewiness. Decent.

Deep amber with a frothy, white head that lingers the duration. Subdued pine and peach aroma. Taste is bitter, verging on acrid at the finish. Body to the full side of medium, dry, a bit rough, and with a light warmth at the end. Drinkable.
