Pint can. Allspice aroma with notes of cinnamon, toffee, nutty malt, bready malt, ginger and nutmeg. Pours deep brown with a half a finger of tan head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with toffee, bready malt, allspice and cinnamon flavors. Finishes smooth with nutty malt, ginger and nutmeg flavors. Definitely fits the winter warmer style.

Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours very drk brown with a moderate creamy tan head. Christmas spice for aroma. Mostly cinnamon? Med body with rather sturdy but smooth carbonation. Slightly roasty malt and cinnamon for flavor. Mildly malty sweet offset by the spice. Decent.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown color with an off-white foamy head about a finger's worth which slid off nicely to leave some mild lace
Aroma: caramel malts, roasted nuts, woody spices - maybe some nutmeg and/or cinnamon but so far muted, it's somewhat hard to truly tell; light vanilla at the end
Flavor: mildly blends together all the prior noted aromas sweetly and semi-spicy with a sly aftertaste of the roasty nuts and caramel malts
Texture: medium bodied; between sessionable and wanting to be a sipper; nicely moves over my tongue - nothing distracting; finishes fairly dry and malty
Overall: pretty good as a Winter Warmer, I could come back to this.

Pour is a dark brown with a large white head. Aroma is baking spices. Mostly cinnamon. Flavor is again lots of baking spices. Cinnamon and nutmeg with some tart cherry juice finish. This was decent. Spices help up but it's not overly spiced.
