Middle-of-the-road amber lager, notes of caramel and toasted bread and a touch of apple but subdued like any Modelo beer. Eh.

Dark copper with small tan head. Nutty caramel malt, and grass/fresh hay aroma. Mildly sweet nutty caramel malt and mildly bitter grass flavor. Okay body.

Dark brown pour. Sweet flavor of nut and fruit. Palate is nut. Heaviness and flavor reminds me of a Christmas ale. Great beer!

Treacle, pecan, prune nose, not strong. Garnet brown, thin head. Pecan, light plum skin. Light body, easy carbonation. Delicate but nice, impressive.

Six pack of bottles from Albertsons. Clear, dark amber, head settles down to a to a silky cream-colored cap. Sweet, malty aroma, brown sugar. Taste is sweet, very sweet, sugary, malty. Pretty fast finish.

12 ounce bottle. Copper, brown pour. Small creamy beige head. Sweet toasted malt aroma hints at caramel. Flavor is light, sweet and toasty. A hint of dark fruit and toasted walnuts. Medium bodied. Sticky mouthfeel. Easy drinking. A nice, approachable, holiday brew. Very reminiscent of the Noche Buena brewed by Cerveceria Cuauhtémoc that I used to drink back in the 80’s and 90’s.

Code on neck of bottle isn't clear.

Pours a clear deep amber with plenty of off white foam, retention and lacing very good.

Smell is bready, hoppy, some grain notes, light fruitiness.

The taste is big bread, grain, hints of nuttiness, semi sweet notes, bit of grass.

Medium bodied with medium carbonation, this is good but I probably won't buy it again.
