Day Four: Holiday Spice Lager from Lakefront

Holiday Spice Lager is the annual Christmas beer offering from Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee, WI. Established in 1987, Lakefront is located in the historic Brewers Hill area just north of downtown, along the Milwaukee River.

This one pours a hazy dark ruby brown with a large rising light tan head. Festive aroma consisted of nutmeg, cinnamon, plum, ginger and malt. Medium bodied and smooth with a slight tingle upfront. Hint of orange zest. Intringuing gingerbread-like malt finish. The heavy alcohol is transformed into an almost brandy-like flavor in conjunction with all the spices. It's a very delicious and potent winter beer.
