Day 360-Beer 360 2XMass, Southern Tier Brewing Co. Lakewood New York

some more Christmas cheer, this on is brewed in the tradition of Swedish Glogg with figs, orange peel, spices, 2 varieties of hops and 4 types of malt. It pours a a hazy mahogany colour with one finger of cream coloured head that leaves some spotty lacing with lots of continuous carbonation bubbles. As for the aroma it smells like a cinnamon cookies, candy cane, with some pine tree resin thrown in for good measure. The flavour has a nice pine hop bitterness in the background with some peppery spices and then some sweet candy candy flavour remains on the palate. It certainly is an interesting and different brew that was worth the sample but I probably wouldn't buy another. 3.3 out of 5 .
