3/4 year old can from last season. Pop the lid and slug right out of the can. Really thirsty. Quite sweet up front. Big spice combination is super apparent. Perhaps a layer of tartness hiding in there. Volatile sugar, seems like a higher ABV than listed here. Poured in a glass and it looks a little brown and thick pale. Tan head. Nose is the mild ado of mixed spices in an alky laden drink. Thicker mouth coating blast with each swig, boozy somewhat. Even tho it tastes like it, it would be a bit more appreciated if it had an additional buzzy kick. a bit more alky kick. There, you have it.

Pour is a cloudy tan with a large white head. Aroma is all nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavor is more nutmeg and cinnamon with a little red apple. Sweet caramel finish. Decent Christmas winter warmer with a nice but minor spice profile.

Sample at the taproom. This beer pours a slightly hazy reddish-amber color with a medium thin white head that diminishes steadily to a wispy film. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of fruit, spices and malt. Medium body with flavors of cinnamon apple, malt and yeast. The finish is spiced fruit and malt. Above average overall.
