Having Christmas Day kids game day. My son and I are having "split out of town beer" day, another one from Kansas City. Short head, opaque brown color. Strong aroma of maple syrup on hot pancakes. Thin and crisp texture, not what I would expect from a stout. Flavor has a roasted quality, bittersweet, with a mellowed maple flavor. Not near as sweet or heavy as maple syrup. Finish ads some bitterness and some sourness that does not add to the enjoyment of the beer. The aroma started out excellent but the beer never really caught up to that quality.

Having another unique beer brought to my son from out of town. Should go well with my Christmas pecan pie. Deep orange copper color, very hazy. Strong aroma of nutmeg and ample cider. Flavor brings forth more of the nutmeg adding cinnamon and notes of apple cider. Finish continues this. Very good holiday beer that brings forth holiday spices and flavors.

Not a bad Abbey ale... Has sweet caramel , coriander and vanilla notes. Goes down smooth.. Recommend. Cheers 🍻
