Santa's Private Reserve Ale
22 oz. bottle in a pint glass This beer poured reddish-mahogany with good clarity and a 1" tan head that left a nice lace on the glass. There was a nice hop aroma amongst the roasted maltiness, that was also apparent in the taste. Raisins also poked through a little in the taste, which was medium bodied and had a smooth, slightly creamy texture. The finish was hoppy and slightly bitter. I paired this up with a sirloin I had for Christmas Eve dinner-- How appropriate!
