bought my first bottle tonight… was so looking forward to it. It’s so heavy with clove flavor I can’t finish it. sad
Sounds like a keeper then . . . I usually get 6, drink one, and age the rest. I had a 2009 one earlier this week.
I’ll take your advice and buy a couple to tuck in the back of the beer closet.
I was a big fan of the Anchor’s Xmas ales until they started adding spices to it. It’s still a well made beer (as are all of the Anchor products), but I guess I’m just in that minority that just doesn’t particularly like spices in my beer.
