#110 Anchor - Christmas Ale 2006

Anchor has a long history of making their Christmas beers. They even have a promotional flyer that has the labels from each year. I didn't get a picture of the Anchor Christmas Ale so instead check them out on Anchor's website http://www.anchorbrewing.com/beers/labelspast.htm


This beer smells of sweet malt and caramel. The color is dark brown with some brown foam.

The taste is very malty, sweet and bitter. There is also a lot of carbonation to the beer that mixed with the malty sweetness comes across tasting more like a soda that like beer. Even with the soda sweetness there is still lots of bitterness in the finish of the beer.

I didn't really like this beer, there is too much malt for my taste.
