Pours a lightly hazy, pale lemon-ice tea color, with minimal head. Aroma is cardamom and almond. Flavors follow. Fairly clean, crisp mouthfeel. You've really gotta want some Christmas flavors to seek this one out (sorry).

Romans are clean dark malt, roast, coffee and a slight hint of vanilla. Flavors are similar to nose and on the sweet side. Toast comes out more and coffee is very well balanced. Slightly thin body. Pretty good overall.

Really good! Very well balanced and super easy drinking. Aromas are dark malt, toast and slightest hint of molasses. Flavors are better than nose, toast comes out a bit more, with a little cocoa and coffee. Great balance between sweet, bitter and soft carbonation. Very drinkable. Excellent beer.

On tap at GTMW 2023. A strong imperial stout, lots of alcohol flavor. Heavily carbonated for the stye, heavy roasted, medium sweet. I wouldn't think it is normally served with so much carbonation.
