Wychwood Bah Humbug Christmas Cheer

This 5.0% ABV beer is from the Wychwood Brewery of Witney, Oxfordshire, England. There is an Ebeneezer Scrooge-looking character on the bottle. A Christmas beer I guess, better getting to it late than never.

The beer pours dark chestnut brown with a reddish tinge, turning ruby. There is about an inch of very light tan head. The aroma is lightly nutty, caramel sweet, nearing toffee, with a light plum fruitiness. The taste progresses through the aromas, adding some roasted flavors, and with a grassy bitterness to bring all the malt flavors to an enjoyably abrupt end. It has a subtle and mellow carbonation. The aftertaste brings in cherry flavors. The biggest drawback of this beer is that it has far too light of a mouthfeel, almost watery, and these flavors need some more body to hold them up.
