pours a dark ruby brown color with a small tan head. aroma is mostly typical for a winter spice brew.. cinnamon clove and maybe some ginger. almost smells like red hot dollars candy because of the sweetness. taste is pretty much the same... but falls a bit flat for a complex winter spice brew. upfront it has everything you want but completely dies once your tongue tries to decipher the flavors. malts are there but weak tasting. it seems like they built this beer on spices with no backbone to support it. mehh

Can. Red pour with a thick beige head. Smell is very spicy and full of cinnamon and clove. Some alcohol noted but not enough to think its 8%. Pretty good, better than a 3 rating,,

On a cold dark night this beer is just what the doctor ordered. One of the more flavorful winter Warmers.

Bonus can from Keg_Juggler. Pours mahogany with thick lasting tan head. Aroma is mildly spiced with notes of root beer. The favor is correctly spiced, not too strong or single dominating character. Warming alcohol, but well hidden. Smooth palate. A nice surprise, much better than expected.

I would have to say this beer isn’t bad, at first glance I was skeptical yet enthralled by the cover art and description. It talks of old chats from FDR and how they were nice yet a kick in the ass, that alone made me interested. After opening and pouring this beer into one of my widmier glasses and letting the beer fully open and settle I enjoyed a taste of culminating hop and roasted type barley. Truly this beer had a full bodied taste and turned slightly to the more hoppy. I myself not being a huge fan of very hoppy drinks found this invigorating and well made. Though I did pour this into a beer glass it may be different than out of the can, also I served this to me and my friend and very cold temp. In any case I found this a hoppy yet full bodied and tasty beer.

From the can one very good looking dark beer. I swear I smell a hint of rootbeer in there, no way. Head goes rocky. Yes, this does have an alky impact on the back of the palate. Strong bitter medicine. Funny when the taste is so much different than it looks. Don’t it bother you when they don’t tell you the spices? Let me guess....
