Anchor Christmas Ale 2010


















































Anchor Brewing Company
Anchor Christmas Ale 2010
San Francisco, California
12/25/2010, bottle

Smell

Dark fruit, toffee and maybe some chocolate.

Appearance

Very dark, almost black, with mahogany highlights and a nice fluffy, tan head.

Taste

Lots of complex flavors, sweet and mysterious, but also some hops for balance. Nice and creamy with good carbonation.

It's not something I would want to drink a lot of, but a bottle or two on Christmas Day with family is perfect.

Comments

An excellent winter ale and a great gift for a beer guy. I couldn't find it in Maryland, but the daughter's boyfriend found the last 2 bottles in Philadelphia and one wound up in my stocking Christmas morning. I guess he's alright.
