Somewhat sweet with a very light bitterness. Light to medium bodied with light carbonation. FunkyBrewster (443), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 29, 2008 Pours a clear dark reddish brown color with a thick creamy white head. Aroma is mostly caramel malts with a bit of spice and a tiny bit of dark fruit. Flavor starts out with an early kick of spices like cinnamon and nutmeg but stays mellow and dives straight into a rich buttery caramel sweetness that stays through the finish. No bitterness here, very malty and sweet not unlike the Boston Lager with spices. Medium body and average carbonation. Very easy to sip and nice for the cold months but there are "warmer" winter beers out there.
