The label was kinda weird. It made me think more of a wintery scene or something. Anyways...it has a beautiful reddish color to it with some interesting choco-coffee stuff going on. I think if you let it linger on the tongue too long you will notice a light and lively carbination, but otherwise it's not a factor.

Pours a clear medium amber, medium sized white head, a bit of lacing, and has huge amounts of body carbonation. Aroma is roasty, caramel, toast, coffee, some chocolate. Flavor has the chocolate and caramel sweetness up front, a bit of hops for balance, and some diacetyl. Medium body, carbonation is a bit too lively for my tastes.

Pours with a five-fingered off-white head that fades quickly but does leave some bubbly lace. Nice carbonation. Deep ruby color. Nose has hints of cooked molasses. Starts malty/hoppy and finishes with a crisp bitterness. Sweet taste is closer to some porters than a brown. Medium bodied.

Pours a beautiful ruby amber hue. Small sticky beige head. Sweet, lightly roasted nose. Starts sweet, lightly burnt caramel, faint smokiness, almost vinous, smooth, light to medium bodied, finishing with a faintly herbal hop charactor. Not bad, kinda funky, but definately drinkable.
