Poured up on tap at Tap & Bottle where it exhibits a deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a nice tan head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy maple to cinnamon spice flowing into roasted malts and then a thin cloud of dark fruity esters. The taste delivers spicy maple and cinnamon heading into vague hop bitter and then some black strap molasses. It thins out a bit toward the finish as modest booziness creates a sliver of warming. Smooth holiday sipper.
