The full title is Merry Christmas Happy New Year 2009. This is a dark brown ale with secret ingredients. It's the 35th year they've made an x-mas beer and they are all supposed to be different. This stuff pours a lovely chocolate brown color and those rich roasted malt scents are heavy on the nose. The flavor is delightful, rich in coffee and brown sugar flavors as well as hint of baking spices. Damn, this stuff is good. I got it for 6 bucks a six pack at a Seven-11 ( clearly an error on their part) well worth it. I will be hunting this down next year and keep a few from this year in the back of my wine fridge to try next year.
