Earthy, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate malt and hay aroma. Dark brown with small head. Moderately sweet lightly spiced chocolate malt, and mildy bitter dry hay flavor. Okay body.

Exactly what it says it is, for better or worse. As a holiday stout, you get all the normal winter warmer-esque spicing, although the nutmeg here is aggressive, to say the least. Bittersweet chocolate, cinnamon, and caramel all add to a cola-ish middle, while the finish dries out nicely with a mildly pine-dusted bitterness. But the nutmeg...gets a tad too boisterous as the pint warms, leaving me a bit torn as to rating; the beer does what it's supposed to do, but I'm not a fan of what it's doing, so...3.5 seems right.

Dark pour with light brown foam. Smells like a nice Christmas drink with nutmeg and vanilla plus a hint of chocolate. Chocolate and coffee palate
