Can from the Cascade Club. It pours lightly hazy deep red - brown with a thick, fluffy beige head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, sticky, toffee, vanilla fudge, fresh bourbon, brown bread, fruit cake, orange peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove rock, malt loaf and a touch of cacao. The taste is bitter - sweet, spicy, warming, quite smooth, toffee, vanilla fudge, big bourbon vibes, touch of coconut, brown bread, fruit cake, orange peel, cake frosting, rye bread, cinnamon bun, nutmeg, warming clove rock, splash of cola and just a touch of warmth through the finish. Fulsome body, moderate carbonation and fluffy carbonation. It's hard to do a spiced beer well, but they have done well here. Tasty.
