3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20What you expect in a winter beer. Could be better but it is better than average. Very finishable if you enjoy a winter cast ale.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice amber color. Sweet malt smell. Taste is malty with a some piney flavor, though not as pronounced as I’d hope. More body than expected with a long finish. Pretty good, would love to try in draft.

Tap - fair size foamy head, medium copper color, sweet spruce aroma and flavor, especially on the taste side, really good and different

12oz bottle pours a clear orange amber with some clumpy, white head. A fair amount of spruce in the nose, some pine but far from hoppy, malt, cracker. Flavor is malty, orange, some spruce, a little dusty, some light spice but nothing definable. Medium bodied, dry finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a clear amber color with a thin white head that faded quickly. Smells of biscuit, spruce and caramel. Tastes of spices, caramel, and spruce and a sweet fruit flavor. Mouthfeel is medium and syrupy, with pretty good chewy carbonation. Overall this is a great tasting winter ale. Pretty solid all around besides appearance.
3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Medium amber pour with cream-colored head. Aroma is rather faint - some spruce, caramel and fruit. Taste is quite sweet, lots of fruit and some light spruce. Virtually no bitterness or hop notes in this. I’m not a huge fan of real sweet brews, but this one is quite good.
