Keg at the brewpub. Pours deep amber with a mellow, creamy tan head. There’s a bit of smoke in the nose, a little meat, toasted grains. Light-medium sweet flavor with impressions of holiday spices, ripe orange, smoked ham, brown bread, caramel. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly sweet to finish with some spicy rye, faint earthy bitterness, burnt grains, brown bread. Interesting beer. Pretty drinkable. Good amount of character given the strength.
