Finishing off the Guinness variety pack is this “Holiday Ale”. Pours a dark clear amber with strong head. There’s an initial bit of fruit, but not citrus. Kind of some dark stone fruit, like prune or cherry. It feels like there’s some of the alcohol aroma, even though at 5.6 ABV it’s pretty low. The dark roast flavor is very subdued and bitterness pretty low key and even. Mouthfeel is pretty light, not something you’d expect from a dark beer from Guinness.
All in all quite pleasant, 3 out 4 generous monkeys.
