santa’s butt holiday porter

“Would you like to taste Santa’s Butt?” I just asked my wife. Of course, I tasted Santa’s Butt before she did. Yes, sometimes I’m so juvenile that I make Beavis and Butthead look mature. Huh. Huh-huh.
Just like Bad Elf, this beer is brewed in the UK by Ridgeway Brewery, and imported by Shelton Brothers. Also, like Bad Elf, this beer has been the subject of controversy in years past due to attempts to ban it because of its label. Also, like Bad Elf, the best thing going for it is the label.
I was kind of disappointed in this one. I was expecting something full-bodied and flavorful, and it turns out that Santa’s Butt just doesn’t taste that good. Huh. Huh-huh. Santa’s Butt is a deep brown with hints of red. Huh-huh. The aroma of Sant’s Butt is sweet and a little grape-y, but the mouthfeel of Santa’s Butt is kind of thin.
Its just a very average beer that could have easily been produced by an American macrobrewery. That’s not to say it’s bad…it’s just not anything special. It’s not really worth the price just to make obnoxious jokes about the name.
