Harvey's Christmas Ale
2012 Vintage
It was on a Christmas Eve that the bottle forager decided to crack a beer that was slapped with a Santa Claus image. It went down very nicely with the Gingerbread cookies and few fingers of bourbon that we left for daddy, cough cough I mean Santa. It also kept me good company while spending an hour or two in the cellar putting together wooden toys for under the tree!
Either way the beer put me in the spirit and although the flavor profile was a bit past its prime and nothing to bellow through the town center waking the beer masses and telling them to "buy this beer" it suited my palate just fine on the eve of Christmas 2018.
Toffee, raisin, light red fruits, orange peel, leather, salted caramel, old pipe tobacco, anise.
