Deep coppered and light amber coloured body with a thinnish, two centmetre tall tan head that fades very quickly to just a top a few seconds later. Aroma of light spices, a touch of caramel and brown sugars along with a bit of alcohol, some bread, yeast and a bit of metal as well. Light-bodied; Strong caramelised sugar flavours at first with a bit of light spices, some subdued yeast flavours and a bit of bananas and bubble gum from the yeast strain. Aftertaste shows some astringent yeast flavours with some light spices and a good caramelised sugar flavour with some mellow maltiness and only a touch of complexity at the end. Overall, a decent beer with some lighter flavours and some mellow sugars, but not enough spice, complexity or depth to make this good. Nice to sample this locally and during the season! I sampled this twelve ounce stubby bottle purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 05-February-2018 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room here in Omaha, Nebraska on 06-February-2018 a day later.

Reviewed from notes.
Thanks Vanessa.
Wasn’t sure what to pour this into, opted for a tulip thinking this was some sort of Belgian styled ale.
The appearance was a murky semi-dark red color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that subsided at a good pace. Some messy lace.
The aroma had some cinnamon, cardamom, light orange peel, grassy to woody hops, some nuts, toast, raisin, butterscotch, caramel/toffee malts, and white bread.
The flavor was a nice blend between the malts and the spices gathering in the orange peel and earthiness to meld fairly nice. Not much of an aftertaste but finished with the spices and malts.
The feel was just a tad under medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine and so was the ABV. Spicy harshness was tame enough not to distract.
Overall, not a Belgian ale, and glad to see it correctly entered on ratebeer. Not exactly sure what Lucky Bucket was going for. I haven’t had much of their beers, however, this was good for what it was.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy deep orange/light copper color with a 1 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, clove, peppercorn, orange, apple, cherry, plum, light banana, honey, brown sugar, toasted brown bread, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, clove, peppercorn, orange, apple, cherry, plum, light banana, honey, brown sugar, toasted brown bread, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, clove, peppercorn, orange, apple, cherry, plum, light banana, honey, brown sugar, toasted brown bread, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitter/spiciness as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. A bit thin, but not watery; nicely flavorful. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.3%. Overall this is a very nice spiced Belgian Abbey singel style. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink. Intensely fragrant on spices in the aromas, but not overwhelming; more balanced in the flavors. Hits the base style very well. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle. A- Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, spices. A- Dark copper color, clear liquid, white head. T- Cinnamon, nutmeg, spices. P- Medium body, average texture, medium carbonation, abrupt finish. O- The bottle calls it an Abbey Ale but this is more like a Winter Warmer to me. Whatever, it’s still good. Packed with lots of cinnamon and spices. I was hoping for a longer finish but it disappeared quite fast. Lucky Bucket did alright here.

Bottle from Captain Jacks. Pours a stunning amber color, great clarity, and a finger of creamy tan head. Not much head retention or lacing, but overall an attractive pour. The nose is spicy; cinnamon and cloves. A little of the Belgian yeast comes through. Warming and inviting. Soft mouthfeel and subdued in the flavor at first. Probably a little too cold at first… a little rest at room temperature opens up the fruitiness and spices. Finishes well, but does linger on the sweet side. Reminds me of spruce and juniper berries. Not too much emphasis on the spice or yeast. Probably good for those who like a more mellow approach to the style. I find the body to be a bit thin, it gets a little sweet in the tail, and overall would consider this to be a pretty mediocre brew. The great debate would be what style this fits into…
