“…unique Danish style Christmas ale.”
Appearance: ruddy brown with a fine tan head that leaves some lacing on the glass.
Aroma: sweet bread and rich spice nose
Flavors: nutmeg, clove, dry brown spice box, pecan nut, toasted grain.
Mouthfeel: a bit watery on the edges, light feel on the palate, pie crust note linger for a short time.
My Strength Rating: 3.5
To the Point: If I was to grade the ale I’d give it a B-. $10 for a B- is not worth the price. While it has some interesting flavors all I could think was ‘so what.’
The Cigar
Gurkha Empire III
Wrapper: Costa Rican Madura
Fillers: Dominican and Honduran
Size: 5.5 x 52
This cigar is consistent throughout the smoking experience. Toasted marble bread (pumpernickel and rye), medium roast coffee, sweet maduro style. The mouthfeel is fairly smooth, dry coffee like notes linger on the palate. My strength rating is a 4 overall.
The Pairing
Rather dull and boring. Neither one really helped the other during this pairing.
