Lakefront Holiday Spice Lager Beer

Bottle poured a clear dark copper with a lasting light amber head. Aromas of orange, spice, carmel, toffee and a hint of honey. Palate was medium bodied and smooitrh. Flavors of toffee, spice, carmel and light orange with a smooth lingering spiced finish.

Lagerish mouthfeel with surprisngly sourness within a lager. It works, with orange and spices following. Imagine a toned down cantillon.Some beige transparency and quality aromas.

12-oz. Thanks, BitBucket! Pours a dark grainy amber with ruddy highlights; moderate creamy tan head. Big tart cherry nose, lots of sweetness that must be from the honey. Dense creamy body, really nothing like any lager you’ve had except for maybe the biggest doppelbocks. Lots of different dark spices and black pepper on the mid-palate. This is a highly singular and different beer, very unusual and a pleasure to drink.

A pretty nice seasonal brew. This beer pours a very nice dark amber with a thick tan head and a spicy pumpkin like aroma. The flavor is spicy, with a strong yeasty nose. There is almost a marmalade or candied orange taste to it, though it’s not something that could be described as citrusy. This beer is also exceptionally smooth for its alcohol content, and in some ways reminds me of a barleywine.

Poured a dark crimson color with small head. Initial aroma I could detect was oranges along with honey and also ripe banana. Taste is ripe banana with cinnamon and more cinnamon. Really a nice brew when I first took a drink but the aftertaste is overpowered by cinnamon and ripe banana. Reminded me of eating gingerbread cookies.

this one was pretty good! pours reddish brown... aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon, apple, and clove. flavor is of cinnamon, baked apple, and nutmeg as well...spicy, yet sweet...very good winter drink!

Pours chill hazy deep coppery with some ruby edges and 1-finger off-white head. Aroma is orane zest, caramel malt, spices, mild honey. Tastes orange zesty, with a solid caramel malt backbone, and some spices, honey, and hops throughout its life cycle. This one is decent enough to make me glad to have bought a sixer.

Deep mahogany pour with deep head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is a pleasant blend of spices, but is a bit too sweet; I can pick out some nutmeg and orange/citrus, but other than that, whew...good luck, but there’s a lot there! Flavor isn’t half bad. The spice is pretty strong, but it doesn’t go ’too far’ in my book. Good malt flavor is accentuated by the spice, which seems dominated by nutmeg and some cinnamon, amongst other things. I’m catching some slight metallic flavors in there as well...but nothing obscene. Mouthfeel was very intriguing...somewhat high level of carbonation and VERY heavy compared to what I was expecting. This one was much more interesting than I planned on, but when my friend passed it along, I didn’t realize it was a 9.5% ABV. Would love to see what this will taste like in a couple years!
