12oz can c/o Ryan. Fruity ale yeast, amber malt, caramel-toffee, maple. Really leans into the style hard. True, well done. Fruitcake amber-chocolate. Good stuff.

From in-laws fridge: pours amber with off white head. Aroma is caramel, little spice and malts. Straight forward but pretty pleasant.

Cheap single from the Mills River cooler; 101024 born on date. Pint glass at home. Needed another winter warmer. Who says that? Opaque, if dark, iced tea sort of pour with scummy lace. Malty biscuit, slightly astringent, lemon pith, black tea nose. Taste is oddly bright. Medium acid, lemon black tea, red ale biscuit, perceived spice, bitter orange pith & approachable sweet resin numbness on the tail. Frothy, slightly sticky, medium acid, medium high carb. Better than pretty good.

Pours garnet into a shaker. Tan head with good retention recedes to hug rim. Pine and caramel aromas. Thick with sweet caramel and pine front to back. Lasting earthy pine and pith finish.
