Clearish deep copper body with an orange huge and okay foam. Kind of a musty root beer aroma, orange zest, clove barfing all over it. Taste is orangey clove that comes across like meaty leather. If this was a smoked beer it would be amazing, maybe they need to retool their marketing.

Draught at the brewery
Nice aroma of orange peel and festive spices. The mouthfeel is off dry and the cloves are more present.
Not bad, and with some sugars could even be served warm.

On tap at Storm, pours a dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out Christmas spices and lots of oranges. Flavour is about the same - not really very tasty, but drinkable. It is what it advertises. Not my thing.
