9 Beers to Christmas

Alright, looks like my slightly date skewed beer advent calendar is back on target.  This evening’s bevy is Wychwood’s Bah Humbug! Christmas Ale.  For the record, I am huge fan of Wychwood’s brews, especially Hobgoblin (It was in last year’s countdown). Unfortunately, Bah Humbug sort of lives up to its name.

Don’t get me wrong.  This is a good beer.  It is just not super memorable.  Bah Humbug has a nice caramel color with a malty nose.  The sweet malt flavor is the predominant taste, with a rather spice filled finish that sticks around (in a good way).  I rather prefer St. Peter however.  Plus, the St. Peter bottle doesn’t scare me as much.
