Pours an opaque brown with a thin light brown head. Smells on pine and nutty malt.
Taste is sweet and smoky. Almost syrupy sweet. Nutty. Underlying piney tastes. Like you're drinking something with pine needles in the glass. It may not sound good but it really works. Slightly bitter pine flavors in the finish.
Full bodied with a sticky pine sap aftertaste that lingers a bit. Sweetish and syrupy aftertaste on the tongue. A great christmas beer. This beer makes me happy.
