Not too bad. Has a very nice dark hazy brown appearance. Aromas are of spices, cloves. pine, cinnamon, and very light hops. Taste is of pine, cloves, and other various spices that I just can’t put my finger on. Has a smooth aftertaste with a little bit of a sour end. Not really my type of beer, but it does not lack quality.

Thanks to corey0212 for sending along this one Bottle poured into a dogfish head snifter produced a big fluffy off white head which lasted for a while and turned to a thick lace. A beautiful clear burgandy colored body on this brew defiantly added to the score. The nose is spiced right up tons of spices but I was able to distinguish them separately. Cloves cinnamon, anise and nutmeg typical winter spices were present. There was some fruitiness in the brew as well, almost a mulled cider effect. Flavors followed suit on the nose very closely a big old bowl of Christmas spice. Medium in the mouthfeel department with ample carbonation This is a sipper not something you would slam or rush to drink. Treat it as such and the experience was quite pleasant. I enjoyed my glass very much. The one bomber which lasted a long time was enough at one sitting
