Damm Navidad

Tap to rate

Damm's Christmas beer goes back to the 1950s, when the brewers made it as a gift for staff, their families and friends; it has been sold to the public as a limited winter release since 2013. Brewed from barley malt, rice and hops, it is oak-coloured with orange glints and a compact, lasting head. Ripe peach and apple open the nose, with orange freshness and a closing note of toasted bread. On the palate it is broad, full and creamy, and the hop bitterness gives a refreshing counterweight.

◐ Taste

Broad and full-bodied on entry, with a creamy mouthfeel that develops across the palate. Peach and orange flavours persist, while a gentle toasted malt sweetness provides ballast. Hop bitterness arrives midway through, offering a refreshing counterpoint that prevents excess sweetness and sustains interest into the finish.
