bottle from HomeBrewStuff. This did not initially come off as an abbey dubbel, but some of the candy sweetness and Belgian yeast could form the foundation for this. Hints of winter spice evident to make it a holiday ale,

750ml bottle thanks to stevoj. Pours out a hazy golden copper topped with a small head. Nose is apple juice lots of candy sugar and a Belg yeast. Taste is more of the apple juice candy sugar and a spice.

Bottle in Vegas, baby! Deep clear dark amber color, medium white head. Aroma of toffee and dark fruit. Taste is fruity caramel, malt forward but not as sweet as previous years.

750 ml bottle, thanks brenn79! Aroma consists of toast, caramel. Pours slightly hazy orange with a medium off-white head that collapses after a minute. Taste is sweet and toasty, with a faint offnote of metal. Body seems a little thin for style. Good.

Bottle, picked up the Bozeman Co-op for $10. I like the new bottles, they are a huge improvement from the wax dipped swing-tops. Bright copper/orange pour with very little beige head. Startling clarity and few bubbles. **I was much ‘rougher’ pouring the second glass and it yielded a larger head with a rather translucent copper-orange color. A gentle aroma of spices, candy sugar, cloves, and yeast. Lightly floral and dry. The flavors come off as subdued; a malty, spicy and lightly spiced flavor. Soft feel, middle-weight body, maybe a bit on the light side. Light yeast and floral tingle in the end. Quite approachable. I would love to see this become a regular seasonal release if the price could come down a bit.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours amber with an off-white head. Light malty aroma with a spice hint. Med body - not really thick. Flavor is mildly spicy malt. Arguably some darkish fruit. Finishes a bit off dry. Something sweet floats in the finish.
