Full Sail - Wreck the Halls: Hoppy Holiday Ale (6.5% ABV)
- Light fresh/dry hoppyness aromatics
- Medium bodied feel, crisp/clean but very nice hoppy bitterness
- It starts to smell more fresh/dry hoppy when I am drinking it .. this is good
- Again, nice clean, fresh/dry hoppy aftertaste finish, not too bitter, not too flowery/sweet
- Oh man I REALLY LIKE THIS ALOT! This is my fav Holiday beer yet!
- 9/10!

Ninkasi - Sleighr Dark Double Ale (7.2% ABV)


Ninkasi - Sleighr Dark Double Ale (7.2% ABV)
- Light hint of rich dark malt aromatics
- Medium-heavy mouthy feel, very light CO2, almost creamy like a Stout
- Medium-light roasted/portery maltyness, light hint of bitter hops
- Trailing smooth, but slightly bitter hops finish
- I think this would go great with a Steak & Potatoes dinner
- It's a bit mild/mellow, nothing quite pops out, but it's a nice blend of everything
- I'd defiantly get it again, 7.5/10
