Backyard Brewery: Bad Santa
This traditional strong ale is/was brewed by Backyard Brewery in Walsall, West Midlands, England. It's achieved an overall score of 58.54%. Based on 1 tasting, the average ABV is 6.80%.
A little beige head forms on top of this winter ale's dark mahogany pour. A delightful and alluring aroma is released by a balanced combination of cocoa, dark berries and faint undertones of liquorice.
This medium-bodied ale has hints of burnt toffee-apple, dark fruit and toffee on the palate. A gentle bitterness cuts through the sugar, and the result is a dry finish with a nice aftertaste. With only a hint of alcohol, this 6.8% ABV winter ale is both warming and easy to drink.
With its complex flavours and comforting warmth, Bad Santa is the perfect winter beer. This traditional ale is perfect for the winter because of its rich maltiness, black fruit and subtle spice flavours.
