Harveys Christmas Ale
Poured bigorously but I only get a quarter inch of tan head that quickly turns into just a skim after a few seconds. Body is a deep brownish red with a ruby shine in the light. Nose is super sweet with cordial cherry, port, and waxy chocolate notes. Zesty sweetness jumps at the senses with first sip. A distinct malty feel overall, inculding a burnt malt mouthfeel on the finish. Slightly soured feel also rounds out the mouthfeel. This is a really bice belly warmer for 8% alchol. Rich and a joy to drink this holiday season. (reviewed on 12/26/06)
