Santa’s Butt

I swear, that’s the name of the beer. Cool label too, which got it banned in Maine, which is part of why I picked it up. Check out the label picture at BeerAdvocate.
Like a lot of people, I picked this beer up in protest due to it being banned in Maine or some such. The label really isn’t that bad, I mean, come on, people!
Anyway, it was a pretty nice beer. Deep brown color with reddish tones when you hold it up to the light. I got a malty aroma with some chocolaty overtones.
There’s a bit of coffee in addition to the chocolate flavor. A tinge of bitterness crept in, but not overly so.
I expected it to be a little more full-bodied than it was, the flavor left the tongue quickly. Pretty good, but obviously not perfect.
Overall rating: 3.7
