Bridgeport Ebenezer Ale:
Hello one and all and welcome back to the best little beer review website this side of, well, somewhere.  Today lets look at another seasonal beer, this one named after one of the greatest characters in Western Literature.  Now I remember my first introduction to Ebenezer Scrooge was with Mickey’s Christmas Carol and Scrooge McDuck’s interpretation of Ebenezer Scrooge.  Who doesn’t love this movie?  It’s a classic and should still be shown on network TV but, yeah, it’s not and that’s a damn shame.  Oh well, we’re not here to reminisce about holiday TV but to talk beer.  Now Bridgeport’s Ebenezer is a nice winter warmer style beer that couldn’t be passed up by an English major like myself nor any lover of the “Ducktales” TV show (you know who you are).  The beer pours a nice brown color with a thick and rocky surfaced head of tan foam that leaves nice amounts of lacing and a nose of holiday baking spices that remind one of home made spice cake.  The beer’s taste is very uniform from start to finish allowing highlights of spices, caramel, and booze which is nice but also a bit disappointing.  I was really expecting a better taste profile than this but don’t get me wrong, this is a good beer but not great.  If they had a bit more hops with this one, it would probably open the taste profile a lot more but that’s just my opinion.  If you get a chance to drink this one, do it and enjoy it, this is great introduction to the wonders of the winter warmer beers.
