Better than expected, which is glowing praise for these Ridgeway Christmas beers. Bitter chocolate and dark fruit notes lead to a thin but sufficiently roasted back end. Drinking the second half of the bottle out of a glass previously filled with an Old Fashioned greatly improved the experience.

Roast, maybe light nutmeg here? Dark brown/black pour with decent creamy head. Light bitter finish with a little cloying sourness. Bottle.
