Bottle as Mother Earth Silent Night thanks to torino. Pours with a black body and a tan head. Aromas of fudge, coffee, alcohol, wood, husky, cocoa and vanilla beans. Roasty flavors with coffee, and nearly a peppery note (alcohol or barrel character, I’m not sure). Earthy. Lively yet rich. Vanilla in the finish.

Bottle thanks to Jcwattsrugger. Pours semi-clear copper gold. Nose of pineapple, caramel malts, citrus and light pinewood box. Taste is strong caramel malts with citrus, hops and a dry almost cedar wood finish. Mouth feel is a little on the thin side, but not bad. Decent over all IPA.
