Hazy dark brown color, medium tan head. Aroma is winter fruit and light spice. Taste has a bit of citrus and spice. Medium to light body, a bit too light for the style.

smell is quite grassy and sweet from a bottle. look is cloudy iced tea brown. taste is at first a little medicinal,then there is this cloying effect. gets a little easier to take as the session continues but i’m nagged by the sweet rudeness of this brew. some fine co2 on the palate. now as i am near the end of the bottle there is this whiskey thing in there, almost like somebody put some cheap shit in there. difficult at times, not very refined on the finish, medicine.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Clear brown color with small beige head. Aroma of malt, caramel, cookies, some pleasant hoppiness and some fruitiness. Flavor starts sweetish with pretty thick maltiness, some caramel, hints of chocolate and light fruitiness with a nice bitter, somewhat earthy and spicy, hoppy finish with malt still in the background. Medium-bodied. After I pour the residue left in the bottle, the beer gets a slightly yeasty character. The hoppy balance makes this one quite enjoyable.

Deep copper with an off white head. Sweet malty aroma of chocolate, molasses, light spice, and a bit of herbal hops. Flavor is very round and full. The caramel malts are the dominating feature backed by light chocolate, sweet molasses, and light spicing. Finishes with a light alcohol and spice burn. Thick mouth. A pleasant winter beer.
