Not bad flavor, smells a bit odd. Hints of chocolate and dark with a brown high head. Bottle to glass at home.

Ask expected, absolute garbage, which it what it smelled like and it didn?t taste much better. Down the drain it goes!

Smoky, as the name implies; OK

Tastes like a light beer

Nice! Not as dark as suggests, tastes more like porter. Not spiced as some might think but this is an English style beer and that would be unheard of. The words "holiday" just refer to "winter" when darker beers are consumed!

Tastes like an English Ale, which is not bad, but was hoping for some Christmas flavors and a bit of chocolate.

Coppery aftertaste, smooth, not very bitter, very little carbonation, can't taste the alcohol like other beers this strong. Picked it up cause it was on sale for 89¢ instead of the normal price of like $7 they had listed. No hints of Christmas at all, as the name would imply, to me but its a great, rich dark beer Edit: wouldn't pay $7 for this one bottle like they wanted, but for the deal I got it's an amazing deal.

Very dark, perhaps a little more carbonated than most stouts I've had. Roasted coffee notes, and just a hint sweet. I thought it was pretty good. Would certainly have another.

Cola colored with heavy carbonation. Malty with spices (nutmeg, coriander, orange peel).
