(Bottle) Ugly brown coloured with no head. The aroma is sweet syrupy and nutty with dark fruits and chocolate. Undertones of earth, caramel and maybe some cherries. The nose is light acidic. The flavour is medium sweet and light to medium acidic with notes of malt, nuts, syrup and caramel. Also some earth, chocolate and cherries. The mouthfeel is smooth and clean with too much tartness from the acidic tones. Medium to full bodied.

12 oz bottle: Aroma is raisins, malt , nutty, and rather sweet in the scent. Appearance is a deep dark clear amber to brown color with a medium tan head that diminishes into a soapy film. Taste has got a sweet characteristic, nutty, caramel, malt forward, not really any discernible hops, and a kind of stickiness in the mouth feel. Overall, pretty good.

pours brown with a nice creamy head.slight scent of maple and nuts but quite surprising with the amount of head that im not getting more aroma.maple,brown sugar pecans and wood with a totally flat flinish.kinda strange that such a nice head on this beer and a complete loss of carbonation.the alchohol is well hidden but still kinda confused on flavours and aroma here.i know this is seasonal and the only shorts beer that i cared for.what in the heck happened?if there were more carbonation here this beer would just be so much better.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours murky brown, a small head. Aroma has a very strong hazelnut component, cocoa, spices, wood and a lot of syrup. Taste is s lot of the same, strong oxidation and a bit of sourness, but still a lot of nuts. Interesting.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(bottle - 12 oz) Clear brownish pour with a thin and slightly tan head. Sweet and spicy aroma at the start. Can definitely pick up the hints of maple syrup and some vanilla. Sweet and slightly nutty flavor at the start with a very nice and subtle spice middle. Sweet on the finish with a tiny bit bitterness.
