Goose Island's Christmas Ale pours a muddy brown with a light tan head that never completely goes away. The aroma consists of chocolate malt, sweet cinnamon and spicy hops. Midtones favor a roasted maltiness and mild sweetness that builds up to a layered finish. The finish at first has a nice chocolate malt taste with hints of nut that transcend into an almost ghost-like smokiness that lingers for a bit before fading. A pretty good holiday ale that's not too sweet or spicy.

The brewery says it changes the recipe for its Christmas Ale slightly each year. Goose Island Beer Company is located in Chicago, Illinois. Their flagship beer, Honker's Ale, is a nice mild English bitter. The brewery's Oatmeal Stout is also a comforting beer during cooler winter weather.
