Draft at Crystal Ballroom. Dark brown pour, clear, one finger fluffy off-white head. Light, sweet malty aroma. Aroma is toasty malts, not too much spice coming through. Taste is malty and sweet. Full, but not normal seasonal spice. Rich, malty ale.

On tap at the brewery pours out crisp clean amber topped with a sand head. Nose is nice pine citrus winter notes and a sweet malt. Taste is as the nose, very nice.

On tap at the always fun Imbre Hall. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head, some ruddiness to the appearance. The aroma is fresh fruity hops and spices. The flavor mirrors this with lots of hops and lighter spices, a medium malt balance with chocolate and pale malt. Pretty nice, very drinkable.

Clear amber with scant white head. Not much aroma. Big hops throughout, nice body and mouthfeel. Some spice, possibly coriander and orange peel. Bitter finish. Best brew of a disappointing session.

Draft in the Clackamas pub. Slightly spiced, lightly roasted malt aroma (spiced brown ale). Brown color. Medium body with near creamy carbonation. Mild Xmas spices, maybe a ginger note over smooth brown ale. Finish is a little harshly roasted malt with some sharpish spice.

Hazy dark amber,beige head. Lightly spiced malt nose. Spices blend to create a piney juniper taste.
