Sample from growler at Ericka’s and Nihar’s Holiday Gathering on 12/18/2015. The beer is a clear dark orange color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of malt, caramel and spice. Light-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, fruit and a bit of oak. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Doesn’t come together very well, slightly above average overall.
