Smell and taste hops and malt. Not sure what makes Christmas ale except when it's brewed but not bad. A touch too bitter for me.
What are you drinking now?

Oregon Spirit Wheat Whiskey. I really enjoy their rye so I’m giving the Wheat a try. Flavor is smooth and bready. The flavor of the barrel comes through.

HB vanilla honey porter while brewing. One of the last batches that I completely bottled. Thought I only had a few left but found another 18 bottles. Brewed last February but still holds up respectably.
HB lime blonde
Getting ready to make dinner.
HB cantaloupe wheat ale
First pour of the Cold Smoke clone.
I know you're a fan of the commercial brew. How did this turn out?
Described as citrusy and hazy. More hazy than citrusy but not bad.
It’s pretty darn close. I nailed the color and was only .2 ABV below the real thing. I don’t think my Covid impaired palate could tell them apart in a blind test.
Anchor 2021 Christmas Ale
Novare/Slab collab??? Two of my favorite spots in Portland

Tough decision. Might need to go to a second or third round, despite the home field advantage.

I stepped on the scale for the first time in over a month the day after Christmas, and it wasn't as bad as I feared but bad enough. So I've cut *way* back, as in I haven't had any alcohol or sweets yet this week (instead of several strong beers and a whiskey or two *every day* and the usual holiday sweets). I'll have a couple or drinks on New Year's Eve, and maybe a beer New Year's day, but I gotta lose 20 pounds or so in a hurry, and it doesn't hurt to give my liver a rest.
But I'm watching this thread and enjoying the beers vicariously. It's trendy to do "dry January", but why wait until January, and it doesn't have to be totally dry. I'll probably have a couple a week and make sure they are good ones. Carry on!

Kolsch day. Wort for a blueberry Kolsch, plus having a short pour of the Eiskolsch. Kolscheriffic!
Thought I'd pop open a Barleywine before amateur night tomorrow and check the carbonation level on my aged inventory. This is a HB Dark Barleywine bottled on 10 August 2021. Here are the specifics:
FG: 1.018
ABV: 9.8%
I made a bit of a mistake in brewing this as I was going to add to the brewing liquor table salt and I used French Sea Salt instead which I found out later is filled with ions I didn't want. It still worked-out, tastes good, and doesn't taste too minerally. Maybe because it's so strong and malty any mineral taste didn't come through.
