Goliath Christmas is a festive Winter Seasonal Beer that pours a deep mahogany with a rich, tan head. The aroma is an inviting blend of dark caramel malts, holiday spices, and subtle dark fruit esters like plums and raisins. On the palate, a sturdy malt backbone offers notes of toasted bread and brown sugar, balanced by a sophisticated spice profile suggestive of cloves and orange peel. At 8% ABV, the beer provides a comforting, smooth alcohol warmth that integrates seamlessly with its medium-full body. It finishes with a satisfying, lingering malt sweetness and a touch of festive spice, perfectly capturing the spirit of the season.
