Woo! More store brand ticks! Is this new(ish)? $1.49 at my local TJs. Mojito glass @home. BB 11/02/22. Clear, rich, dark cranberry, lingering lace. Very mild aroma of dried cranberries & boxed baby apple juice. Ever so slightly medicinal. Taste is tart, lingering cranberry juice & soggy, browned, oxidized apples. Maybe some paper. Do store seconds become cider? Cranberries are good, it has bubbles, abv is quiet. Boring. Fine. $1.49.

12oz bottle from Trader Joe's. Near black pour, fizzy brown head. Aroma is chocolate, notes of licorice. Taste flattens out, light chocolate, but not very sweet. Something a bit off, can't place it

Poured from 750mL bottle. Medium-dark brown with full beige head. Typical unibroue yeast profile, lots of winter spices - clove, nutmeg. Fine.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a medium beige head. Nose brings out that signature Unibroue yeast, with holiday spaces—think nutmeg and clove—along with a touch of candi sugar. Flavour is much the same, with burnt dry sugar, lots of clove, a little nutmeg, and Belgian yeast. High carbonation, with relatively low residual sweetness and a nice spiciness. It's the usual high quality Unibroue holiday ale, at a bargain price point. It's very good, but perhaps shy of their highest quality brews.

Dark brown. Medium head, but weak. Quite spicy, coriander and more. Like mace, ginger, those sorts of things, along with the classic Unibroue yeast signature. Medium body. Quite fruity, decent malt. And a fair bit of that spice coming through. Decent.

750 ml corked and caged bottle from Trader Joe’s in Princeton, NJ. Nearly opaque dark brown color. Creamy tan head is immense at first, but settles to a small thin cap. Spicy roasted malt aroma hints at dark dried fruits. Flavor follows nose. Dark dried fruit. Think black currants, dark cherries, prunes and sultanas. Spices are subtle, but present. A bit of clove, cardamom, ginger and cinnamon, perhaps. Maybe some treacle as well. Rich and complex, yet very approachable. Sticky mouthfeel. Tobacco and port wine on the backend. Well made and a great value at $6.00 for a 750ml bottle.

$1.50 bottle, TJs. Ruby red to magenta, clear, dusting of a white head. Apple, cranberry, light soapy nose. Cranberry, apple, dust. Tart but not sour. Quite equal between the apple and the cranberry. Kinda nice.

$1.50 bottle, TJs. Medium gold with good carbonation but no head. Nose is apple pie, cinnamon, ginger. Heavy ginger up front followed by sweet apple, then cinnamon, nutmeg. Semi-sweet, quite tasty, actually.

Bottle from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours orange tinged gold with a few bubbles. Pie spice aroma. Approaching med body. Flavor is pie spice, but I think ginger is dominating. Yes. Ginger. Love ginger! Molasses ginger cookie seems reasonable - tho I'm not sure where the treacle comes from - oh - it's an additive. Good show!
