Sweet and spicey aroma. Deep amber color with light white head. Cherry flavor, a bit mediciney, then sweet with cinamon/holiday spice. Pretty good, only the medicine flavor detracts.

On tap at Frisco Burrito’s in Columbia - Clear amber, thin creamy off white head. Soft aromas of cinnamon, fruitcake, nutmeg, and apricot. Spiced flavors are light, but prevalent throughout the pint. Airy bready malts and light fruity hops provide a nice balancing act upon warming. Light bodied, soft carbonation, spiced fruity finish. Quite drinkable, but not worth going out of your way for....
