This one poured deep copper/reddish, with very little head. The aroma was caramel malt, some spices (nutmeg), some rauch, and some hops. The taste was rauchy, with Christmas spices, malt, and finishing hops. This was my favorite of the four Destiny beers I tried. It was like 1 part rauchbier, 1 part Christmas ale, and 2 parts Scotch Ale. A unique and enjoyable style.

Poured a lightly hazy color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malt, peat, and a touch of citrusy hops. Taste of butter and caramel, lots of smoked meats, light citrus, and some bitterness in the finish. No alcohol noticed at all. A very rauchy scotch.
