Bottle. Pours is a clear dark amber, with an off-white head. Very spicey, tastes similar to wassail, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, candied orange peel, and sweet. Tastes good, but to much spice for a beer, I’m getting tired of these spiced christmas ales.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 6/20
Lots of cinnamon and nutmeg in this one, a little caramel malt, but it’s well concealed. Appearance is reddish brown with thin tan head. Strong spiced flavor with an alcoholic finish. Palate was medium, sticky and soft. Unpleasant.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Brown with little to no white head. Aroma is spices, some nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavor almost tastes like you might think a Christmas tree would taste. A little piney with strong flavors of nutmeg and cinnamon. Very malty with a playful effervescence. It actually reminds me of a pumpkin beer without the pumpkin flavor.
