Company: Samuel Adams
ABV: 5.9
IBU: NA
This is a seasonal Christmas brew and I haven't seen it this year, so maybe the Sam Adams folks decided against it for other holiday beers. However, as fortune would have it, a buddy happened to have a few of these stuffed in the back of a fridge in his garage. So, I get to try one of these even if they might be a year or so old, and I have had these beers before even though it's been a while.
Anyway, yes, this is a Christmas beer with cinnamon, ginger and a touch of orange flavoring.
Pours a dark red with a foamy head while giving off scents of molasses and roasted nuts and possibly coffee.
On the tongue, this one is a touch too sweet for me and it has too much of that spicy, holiday flavoring. It's not the beer's fault, though, as I simply don't care for these kind of holiday beers. Still, this one is better than most, so if you're searching for a Christmas brew, you could do worse than Samuel Adams.
