Handwritten notes: One thing you should know about old Bard is that I love Dickens' A Christmas Carol. I have read it a dozen times, and I have watched the movies a ton. I will even sit through "Scrooged" even though Bill Murray is less funny than the holocaust. One time I met Bill Murray at a baseball game. In real life his face looks like peanut brittle. Anyhoo, this beer is caramelly like a Christmas fruitcake. It is a fizzy, sparkling fruitcake. It kind of tastes like a bock in a weird way. There may be some cinnamon and nutmeg notes, but this beer is more about the malt than it is about the spices. The spices are quite subtle, and thank God for that. A superb Christmas chugger.
