Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home on a very cold start to December. Appearance is a dark ruby with not much head. Aroma of caramel, spice, sweetness, syrup. Taste is decent, gets better as it warms. The strongest ingredient is sweetness, tastes too sweet for me.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber orange with a tan head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a good amount of bread and grains with a bit of hoppiness underlying. Flavor has lots of bread and grain with some pine hops coming through in the finish.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home on a Friday on a gorgeous late October evening...one of the last nice nights for quite a while. This is a real good one. Appearance is a vibrant gold with a moderate frothy off white head that nicely laces to the glass. Aroma is a fantastic mixture of piney / citrus hops with a prevalent caramel malt backing, smells great. Taste packs a punch with gravity and bitterness, not quite enamel-robbing but hoppy nonetheless. Overall I’m happy with this one and would recommend.
