Beer-a-Day #359 
Every year since 1975 the brewers at Anchor have brewed a distinctive and unique Christmas Ale, which is available from early November to mid-January. The Ale’s recipe is different every year—as is the tree on the label—but the intent with which we offer it remains the same: joy and celebration of the newness of life. Since ancient times, trees have symbolized the winter solstice when the earth, with its seasons, appears born anew.
Dark brown with a creamy beige head. Lots of spice in there; nutmeg mostly. The flavor is very rich and spicy. This would be good for dessert.
6!!!!!

I thought the nutmeg was way too overpowering. But other people absolutely loved it. Good luck on the final week!

I’ll bet that this would be really good after a cellar of six months or so to give the nutmeg a chance to mellow out.
Thanks for the luck wishes; honestly, though, this might be the easiest week of the year.
