Part of this Christmas season 4-pack of YYZ FlightPack. Clean, amber colour with golden highlights and very light carbonation. The head is warm beige coloured, frothy with decent retention and leaving a foamy coat on the beer. Oh wow - loads of spices in the nose, as now reading the can says cloves, ginger, cardamon and Curacao orange peel. Everything is well-blended, with mild Belgian yeast and fruity malts in the base. The taste shows the orange peel giving some bitterness, and the spices are milder. Some alcohol comes out in the end, warming a little. Quite an interesting spicy winter warmer.

Part of this Christmas season 4-pack of YYZ FlightPack. Clean, light-golden colour with a white cap, fair stay and some light foamy lacing on top of the brew. Pils nose with the sweet malts giving cereal notes and some light spicy herbal hops. The taste shows some mineral water notes, light bitterness, decent dryness with that mild spicy Saaz hop snap. Refreshing, crisp mouthfeel and well-brewed all-around.

Cloudy gold with a rich white head. Orange and a bit of resin. Resin and citrus with a long finish. Touch of bitterness.

650mL bottle, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma is full of spicy rye barrels, medium roast, and even more spiciness. Flavour is dominated by the rye barrels — there's tons of spiciness from the rye, medium roast, and dry crusty bready. Not huge on rye barrels in general, so perhaps that's why this isn't my favourite version of Double Tempest — just a bit too earthy and spicy. It's good, but subpar compared to other DT versions.

Dark brown colour. Mild aroma of leather, mold, Lean body, chocolate, light tobacco, moderate sweetness, minimal signs of oxidation, and warming alcohol.
Pretty good, still.

Poured from 500mL bottle (2013 vintage). Very dark brown with minimal tan head. Dark fruit, mild soy, touch of chocolate, roast, and leather. Inoffensive, though though probably too old/oxidized.
