Cheap can from kroger. Color is a clear medium dark brown, like omhper says, slightly darker than copper. Tan head fades rapidly. Nose of alarmingly heavy holiday spiced winter beer. Big swig is also a bomb of holiday spices, way too much for this lager lover and totally in yer face. I don't care for heavily spiced beers and I don't care for the taste of this one. Slight warming sensation on the way down. Could be from the alky, but I sense its more from the heavy spices in this brutal winter beer. Getting some malt but mostly its ferocious festering fissiparous flavors. What a session, blah, bullshitty blasphemy. Very difficult to find any of these holiday spiced brews of any enjoyable value.
