Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can, an extra from shrubber85, poured into a glass. Dark brown with crimson highlights, medium beige head which dies quickly. Aroma is spice, medium body, medium carbonation, and good small-bubble lacing. Taste is lots of spice. Too many competing spices for me and heavy.

Can. Ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and toffee malt aroma. Hazy brown with moderate tan head. Sweet, spicy toffee malt and lightly bitter herbal flavor - spice pretty intense - nutmeg seems to be most apparent but otherwise hard to differentiate. Good balance.

Draft at the source. Hazy amber brown color, tan edge head. Aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon. Taste is spiced Christmas fruitcake. Warming.
