A rich-bodied brown ale forms the stage for holiday flavors which dance a festive ballet highlighted by pirouetting leaps of Christmas inspired spices. Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, rose hips and chamomile compliment the subtle chocolate and light coffee notes of the malt and the addition of roasted carob and chicory complete the performance. Brewed once a year to celebrate the Christmas season. Pair with fresh cracked nuts, fruit cake and share with friends and family. Merry Christmas from the CCB family!

Rating from 2008. Pours brown with red to deep pink hues and off white head. The aroma is a medley of winter like spices and herbs to go along with lighter notes of chocolate and varied roasted malts. The taste begins with some fruity notes like ripe cherries and a hint of sweet red delicious apples to go along with varied winter spices that are fairly bold and mingling nicely with the other notes. In the background is a layer of chocolate and roasted malts. This isnt a big heavy Christmas beer but perfect for lots of flavor and sessionability around the holidays. I guess what Im saying is the body seems thin but it works very well for me. A terrific beer to enjoy while preparing a big holiday meal.

Decent seasonal, but thought would be a little better given the price. The "Sugar-Plum" is very suttle....maybe more sugar than plum. Hard to taste at first, but after a bunch of sips you can. Appearance is a murky medium brown. Still thinking I like the cinnamon-oatmeal raison cookie the best of their browns....especialy dollar for dollar. UPDATE:- Just checked receipt and noticed that I paid $11.99 for this, then saw it my other retailer recently for $7.50. Worth more like the 2nd price, and now feeling that I got somewhat duped. Good beer....just try not to overpay.

A deep brown-amber colored beer with a moderate sized, foam light beige head that rises briefly above. Settles into splotches of film and medium sized ringlet. the nose is light, but the profile, dominate in the tasting is cloves, cloves, sweet plums, caramel and a nuttiness. Full bodied and smooth bodied
