Other than it tasting like a cardamom bomb (say that five times quickly), it's good. If that flavor fades with time, this has a lot of potential.

Merry Christmas Nicholas County! West Sixth's second installment of their "Kentucky County Series" release honors this part of Kentucky with their ever-popular Christmas Ale, but this time in a long and silent slumber with oak.
With the dark and rusty ale pouring, its Belgian-esque head billows to the rim, thwarting forth the hearty perfume of molasses, tangy spice and nutty oak. With the first sip, its candied sweetness is hearty of coffee, toffee and hard candy.
Nestling onto the tastebuds, its hearty molasses sweetness begins to dissolve and its peppery balance jumps ahead. Peppercorn, merlot-type vinousness, and tangy dark plum, blackberry and black cherry flavors abound. Drying wonderfully across the middle, glimpses of cashew, caramel, vanilla and weathered oak offer an intangible layer of complexity to pull the fruit and spice together in a homogenous, seamless taste.
Trickling along, the beer's long and savory finish continues with receeding sweetness, gently rolling heat and spice and a simmer of dark and dried fruit that return in wave after wave. Soft and powdery oak tannins ensure that those firm merlot notes work as well in texture as they do in taste.
