Big bottle. Big pop. Liquid rises on its own. Good but manageable head. Dark amber. Aroma is lightly sour, hint of yeast and lots of warm spice; cinnamon and peat notes. A bit of sweetness and a touch of alcohol. Light soft foamy body. Lots of nice spice notes.

Pours a raisin brown with a nice off-white head and an aroma of subtle raisin, candied sugar, and dark peach. Flavor is an immediate rush of alcohol followed by roasted nutmeg, and berry bread. Average mouthfeel. Pair with pizza rolls.
