Deep copper and light brown coloured body with a light tan head, about two centimetres tall. Aroma of pure spice - ginger, allspice, nutmeg (tons of it), canella, cardamom, quatre epices and a dose of anisseed as well, coupled with some light hops and more pungent malt notes. Medium-bodied; Strong malt flavours hit at first with a rather earthy bite, but then show a nice herbally hop character and some yeast flavours, all finished with quite a bit of spices and punch. Aftertaste is robust and powerful with the nutmeg and canella the strongest flavours, but also some caramelised sugar flavour and grainy finish noticeable throughout. Overall, a very nice beer for the season that shows a lot of spice, a good balance of hops, malt (and spice) and a solid complexity near the end. Great to sample and well worth trying to find anytime of the year, but especially around Christmas, and especially in New York! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 24-Februrary-2018 for US$2,25 sampled on the train from Connecticut to New York (while in the Bronx) on 11-March-2018.

Aroma of soft peach and some sour pineapple. Has a very good solid head and foggy orange brown body. Flavour is strong muddy coriander sweetness with some molasses lightly thrown in. Palate is not very crisp and the flavours are tripping over themselves. It's okay drinking but needs more finesse.

On tap at Östersunds malt festival. Smells like Christmas - cloves, cinnammon etc. Tastes similar but lighter. Nice.

Draft at Gato. Unclear orange. Heavy spice aroma and flavor. Cinnamon, allspice, maybe a little ginger. Lively carbonation. Spices are so strong they overwhelm everything else. It's a fine spice beer, but nothing I'd rush out for again.

Draught @ Brazen Fox. Hazy dark orange with creamy small off-white head, orange peel and cinnamon aroma, medium carbonation, thin body, bitter spicy orange peel taste, long bitter finish. Decent pale ale.
