OK, so I waited long enough to try this. I don't really care for most of these weird spice forward beers, so I left it in the cellar far a while until I got up the nerve to tick it. From a bottle this stuff looks quite festive. A maroon hue on an otherwise very dark beer, something like root beer. Not getting much spice on the nose, has a rather crisp olfactory about it. First taste is somewhat astringent, a weird piercing bitterness, like a poorly made sharper pilsner. This is followed by some kindah stronger mixture of odd spices. All kinds seem to be thrown in here. Yes, a little sickening with the cloying sweetness as well. Middle was a somewhat warming sensation about it but that mess of spices, along with the sharp astringency, make this a little difficult to take. Hoping the alky content eventually helps me to forget about this bomb. Yea, its bombarding my senses, and not in a good way. Difficult, not iiking this session. However, I can't bring myself to make it a drain pour. The texture and palate of this does have some carbonation, but its mouthcoating SOB. Such an untidy disorderly disarrayed clutter, and a heap of shambles. Yep, yer typical nasty holiday spiced beer mishmash, undeserving of the word Christmas. There, you have it.

Bottle. Amber colored with a medium head. All I have to say is, it’s another IPA. Even though there may be some slight differences for the most part they all smell and taste very similar. Citrus, floral, pine in both flavor and aroma.
