The fourth day of Christmas brings me one of the worst things I have ever tasted. This is a Christmas beer from a brewery I have never tried before. I say brewery but they seem to make all sorts of food stuffs. Anyway the beer pours a pleasant light amber with a short lived white head. The smell is sweet and spicy, lots of malt sweetness and traces of cinnamon nd cloves. The taste is pretty much the same, just sickly sweet with a slight bitter taste in the end. This beer is just so sweet. I can really taste the münich malt but there is just nothing balancing it. This is what Santa will be putting in naughty kids stockings this season instead of coal. Bah Humbug!
