11 Beers to Christmas

If the 12th beer were a gimmick, the 11th beer really is a gimmick.

Every December there is a new trove of Christmas themed beers with amusing labels. It must be a British thing since so many of these beers I've tried are English ales. This year is no different.

Enter Reindeer's Revolt, a 6% ABV winter warmer, which tastes a lot like an ESB. It's rather earthy with hints of toffee and a mild hoppy bitterness. The finish is surprisingly dry. It leaves you almost wanting more.
