Can, looks like rootbeer as well as a rootbeer foamy head. Nose is somewhat boozy, heavy spices. First taste is a clinging treacly spiced nutmeg bomb. Maybe I'm getting other spices in there but this is certainly yer typical domestic heavy duty holiday spiced beer blaster. Very difficult to enjoy such an in yer face brew. Come now, shouldn't I be able to sense or taste some aspect of beer in this? Very soft carbonation, needs more to help me not think about this blitz to the senses. On the finish I'm getting this warming sensation down the throat into the gullet. Oh schnitz, what was I expecting? Anyway, its a cheap ticking can and I'm not surprized about what I got.
