pours a dark amber with thin tan head. aroma is very faint. medium body. tastes of toffee, nuts, light coffee and butter (with hints of alcohol). finish is dark malt with some bitterness. I expected more spice in this, but those flavours are almost non-existent. a nice easy-drinking warmer.

The appearance is brown with some red hues and a small off white head that leaves some nice lacing. The smell has some dark fruits and a malty aroma. The taste is the same with some caramel in it and slightly bready with some winter spices and nuttiness. The palate medium with a good carbonation. The finish seemed a bit sticky. Overall, a pretty good beer, easy drinking. I would have this again.

Pours a deep copper color with a finger of eggshell foam. Aromas are sweet caramel and seasonal spices; nutmeg, cinnamon. On the palate its pretty sticky with a big malt presence thats a touch buttery and overly sweet. Drinkable but not really worth seeking out.

Pours a deep copper color with a huge beige head that persists forever leaving moderate lacing on the glass. Hints of caramel and bready malt mix with earthy spicy hops make up the aroma. A slight mineral edge rounds out the nose. The flavor is toffee and caramel with bread mineral water and earthy spicy hops providing some bit of balance. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. Not a bad beer, I could see myself drinking these.

caramel hues, minimal head with gorgeous lacing. nose is spices and caramel. nutmeg and some sugar. taste is ilght spices with honey and burnt texture. very wheaty and chewy.

Bottle, beer of the month club. Cloudy copper with a light tan head. Malt, cinnamon and a little nutmeg aroma. Mild bitter-sweet taste and a little spiciness. Heavy body, short finish with an alcoholic feeling. Insignificant.

Pours bronze with a medium head, aroma of malt, carrot cake, flavor is sweet and malty, with some cinnamon, a bit dry and bitter, medium bodied, ok

12oz bottle. pours out a brown/amber. nice carbonation + head. faint spice aroma accompanied by caramel malt, bread and some faint hops. flavor seems off.. malty with flavors of spice and slightly bitter.

Pours a amber brown with a white head and malty aroma. Taste is sweet and malty with a nice balance of hops. Good, solid, drinkable ale but nothing too special.

Pours rusty brown, hazy with light carbonation. Small head with a fruity sweet malty aroma. Taste is sweet and malty with some bitterness. Actually very tasty for a small microbrewery, obtained through a beer of the month club. Surprisingly good. Quaff Score ( drinkability with hearty enjoyment ) 7 / 10
