Father Christmas is the English embodiment of Christmas Spirit. He is derived in part from the Pagan deity The Holly King, who rules over the Winter Season. Father Christmas slips into homes at night on Christmas bringing gifts and This beer is LyonSmith's embodiment of the delicious treats one might find in said stocking! Brewed with cocoa powder and lactose, this Sweet Stout is silky smooth, English embodiment of the Father Christmas is the filling stockings, and sinfully dark.

This one pours very dark brown with muddy cola highlights. A light khaki head of fine bubbles quickly falls to a thick ring and thin blanket. The second pour deposited chunks of sediment, causing a golden brown haze.
The aroma opens with sweet chocolate syrup and a background of mild, dark roasted malt. Apple cider is out of place as it shows up with warmth.
The flavor opens with sweetness and light sour notes. Chocolate and malt are subdued. Raisins make a strong appearance that builds with warmth. The finish is mild and lingering, carrying the sweetness forward. Warmth draws out light bitterness. The second pour produces cider flavors.
A medium body and slick texture are accented by light carbonation. The alcohol, while very low, is still noticeable.
This is an okay beer, however, it is too sweet and lacks the rich malt expected of the style.
