Sampled on draft at Pipers Pub this beer poured a hazy orange-brown color with a medium sized foamy orange-tan head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was sweet, a bit tangy and had a lovely strong presence of cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg and bread crust. The flavor was quite disappointing given the aroma - thin, watery, and mild presence of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Medium length finish. The body was a bit thin and watery too. Meh.
