Nice pour. Plenty of foam sitting on a medium gold brew. The foam ain’t going anywhere soon but what’s shrinking leaves lacing behind.
The smell is festive; spicy with some cinnamon, a bit of clove, and fruity ..cherry like flavour when I swish the beer in my mouth, dark fruit when I don’t swish.
Medium body with lightish carbonation.
This is delicious.
