Pour is a clear red-brown with a large white head. Aroma is a nice gingerbread spice with some berries. Flavor is cinnamon and nutmeg and the cranberry is left on the tongue well after the swallow. Reminds me of one of my favorite beers of yesteryear Pete's Wicket winter warmer. That beer was with raspberries but the cranberry in this beer is a nice surprise. Tasty liquid fruitcake.
