Draught @ Valhalla, Manhattan (Mar 2024). Clear copper brown with a small foamy beige head, caramel-dried fruit aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter caramel taste with alcohol undertones, dried fruits, thin body, long medium bitter finish. Smooth and balanced.

Smooth mild beginning. Spices, grain. Slightly sweetish. The beer is round and mild, hints of grain with a fruity spiced finish. Nice.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has some nutmeg and cinnamon with a bit of light fruits and sweet grains backbone. Flavor has cinnamon and nutmeg throughout with sweet grains and just a hint of light fruits in the finish.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep amber copper with a finger of beige head that dissipates quickly. Nutmeg and cinnamon dominate the nose with some Belgian candi sugar notes and citrus as it warms. Palate has more of the same with nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon spice dominating again. Citrus and cranberry skin dryness on the finish.
