Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very dark slightly ruddy amber with a decent creamy tan head. Aroma of semi-dark fruit, light spice and darkish malt. Med body or so. It's malty but not very sweet. Definitely bitter. Odd combination of coffee, spice, slightly toasty malt and some pine. Pretty good tho.

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.

Can poured into a solo cup (all I’ve got). Clear brown with a lovely head. Malt nose. Flavor is stink bug, weak coffee, malt. I don’t know about a winter warmer, but the flavor is nice.

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.
