This year we are doing a different style of Christmas beer. Instead of a stout base, we’re doing an old ale base. Still adding an assortment of holiday spices and flavors.

Bottling day

Bottling day beer tastes pretty good. Definitely spicy, not sweet. Spices are pretty well balanced, I think. Ginger, cinnamon, and orange are there, but not overpowering. Color is nice. Dark but not opaque. Some alcohol warmth, perfect for a cold day.
