pj1855 (160) - Eagan, Minnesota, USA - DEC 20, 2008
Excellent beer. Need to let this one warm to room tempature to get the full flavor. Pours a reddish brown with an average light brown heard that quickly disappears. Great aroma of malts and spice. Smooth creamy mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Great mix of malts and spice with a little bit of a dry finish.
