Beer Advent Day 1

Yay for beer Advent, the best Xmas gift possible for the strict atheist in your family.

Thanks to my lovely wife Tracie, I'm privileged to have another month of great holiday beers to keep me occupied.

The first beer in the calendar this year is:

Santa's Swallie
Christmas beer brewed with spices
Inveralmond Brewery, Perth, Scotland
500ml bottle, 4.3%abv

Pours light amber, slightly cloudy, with a thin, light head.

Aroma is floral with light malt and a hint of spice.

Flavor is similarly flowery, with solid notes of mulling spices.

Mouthfeel is light and a bit thin with a slightly sweet finish.

This was a tasty and interesting start to the calendar. I'm looking forward to the rest of the month!
