Not wintery enough for me... more like a porter. Nice flavors ... tofee, nutmeg, lots of malted barley.

Clear mahogany in colour, lingering but thin beige coloured head, patchy lacing. The aroma is of red liquorice, quite sweet with some nail polish remover. The liquorice continues in the flavour along with a sugary sweetness, light spice and perfume. Sweet mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes sweet, quick.

This one was weird. Didn’t really care for the liquorice or the nail polish remover. Never got into this one.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Coldbrewky. Pours a light brown caramel color. I was a little sloppy with my pour & ended up with a huge angry head. Malty nose with some floral hop. Mildly carbonated with a bit of body to it. Flavor was malty with mild spice. A little bit of hop background.

bottle: Poured a dark brown color. The aroma was cloves, pepper, citrus and maybe some basil. The flavor was good, sweet malts and spice. Overall, an awesome winter beer.

Poured a dark brown color with okay head and some lacing. Aroma was very very malty not much to balance it out. Flavor was lots of caramel malts some nuttyness to it hops as it warmed not as well balanced as i wanted.

12oz bottle. Pours a burnt sienna in the chimay glass. Small white head dissipates. Some cloves, and corriander swirl then disappear round the thinner medium body that goes al bit chalky at finish. thanks to the wife again forbringingt this one home for me.
