Aromas are a little like scotch ale. Flavors are a lot like nose, lots of malt with maybe a little peat and a touch of roast. On the sweet side with just enough bitter and carbonation to balance. Not bad, not great.

Light lemon, a hint of noble hops. Clear golden pour with quickly dissipating head. Light tangy finish. Breezy I guess. Bottle.

Bottle from the Advent Box Pours a mostly brilliant light auburn color with a small short lived bubbly off white head. Light caramel Christmas spices and a hint of oxidation. Not my style but not bad.

I have a 12 oz bottle that was picked up at one of the Total Wines in Austin a couple of months ago. Using my Great Heights snifter for the tasting this evening, so I lift the cap and pour. Red-amber in my opinion followed by a slender but consistent skim of light tan foam. The nose comes across with grain and an indication of sweetness. I follow with the drink, hey, better than I expected. Whole grain bread, caramel, malt and dry crackers. There's more depth than anticipated, I thought it would be mostly a basic amber ale. A nice balance between the bitterness and the sweet effect. I'm not sure what makes it a Christmas ale but there you are.
