Reviewed from notes.
On tap at 14th Star on 02/09/2019.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange almost amber color with a quickly dieing white foamy head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: light ginger, allspice then some floral to earthy sweet tones coming forth in a semi-British sort of way (kinda like a Winter warmer); light vanilla and/or pie crust notes and then a light dose of some fruity esters
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality underscored by a light spicy tone; finishes about the same way with a light dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also light little nickings of the spice on the tongue, good carb level
Overall: pretty nicely done British ale as I believe they were going for a Winter warmer with this.
