Santa's Private Reserve, an American Strong Ale, by Rogue Ales 12 ounce bottle. Another gift from the sister. I like this a lot. The pour is an orange-red, like the last light of sunset on a partly cloudy day, with a tan head to cap it off. The aroma is of a floral base with a light breadiness and hint of pear. Great mouthfeel on the taste. Flavor moves from sweet to a more complex sweetness infused with bitterness. A good slightly burnt flavor speaks of caramel and chocolate and wheat bread. There are also pear and plum tones that peek through. This is what a winter seasonal should taste like. Highly recommended.
