We're pretty sure we've found the best beer to accompany your holiday desserts. The clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger in the aroma and flavor are satisfyingly filling and will undoubtedly have drinkers yearning for freshly baked holiday goodness. With each warming sip of this Christmas exilir, the cinnamon notes become more evident and the hop spiciness balances the sweetness of the brew. The medium body rounds out the enjoyable experience and masks the higher alcohol content well. Because it is a seasonal brew, our particular samples were from last year and had experienced a bit of oxidization; therefore, we recommend that you enjoy this delicious brew during the same season that you purchase it.
