Very dark brown coloured body with a very thick, super creamy tan head that shows at about three to four centimetres at first and only fades a tiny bit from the microfoamed top. Aroma of very pungent spice notes with allspice, canella, star anise, roasted malts and a bunch of lactose and even some pumpkin aspects. Medium to Full-bodied; Very strong rich malt notes dominate somehow above all the spice elements which are right behind as well with a lot of allspice, canella and brown sugars with a big hit of coffee and lactose depth right behind. Aftertaste is pungent as well with the richness from the malts, the alcohol and a ton of lactose and pure cream and milk components, but the spices still are strongest here. Overall, a very pungent beer with the lactose, cream, spice and malts and sugars that somehow tastes way more than 6,0 per cent alcohol, but hits the flavours very nicely! Great to sample and well worth grabbing if you can find this! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased on 28-June-2021 for US$2,59 at Brown Jug in Anchorage (Old Seward), Alaska sampled in my hotel room here in Homer, Alaska on 28-June-2021.
