Day 14 Seasons Greetings
A hard day in the back country deserves a beer that is warming to the soul , candi-sugar gives the Three Peaks a big body , smooth mouthfeel and a warming sensation as it goes down , after a long day chasing the peaks of your local mountains , settle down in front of the fire and soak in the warmth.

330ml bottle, day 14 of the 2016 Seasons Greetings holiday mixer from Parallel 49 and Central City - hoookay, now we're getting into the high-test stuff, much more appropriate given that the weather outside is indeed frightful.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat fizzy ecru head, which leaves some looming ice shelf lace around the glass as it evenly bleeds away.
It smells of lightly toasted caramel malt, simple syrup, some overripe apple and pear fruitiness, subtle white and black pepper spice, and some mild leafy, earthy, and gently perfumed floral hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy and gritty caramel malt, cotton candy, muddled and sauced-up pome and citrus fruit esters, a hint of earthy yeastiness, and more tame weedy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is agreeable enough in its supportive frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, just a bit of multi-pronged estery interlopers taking things down a notch or two here. It finishes off-dry, the yeast and so-far undercover alcohol tempering the lingering malt behemoth, to a certain degree.
Overall, this is a pleasant enough strong brew, and it surely does the trick, but compared to the Old World (and not just monastic) producers, this one is Kraft Singles vs. old cheddar cheese - you know the latter makes a better grilled cheese sandwich, but for some reason, the former works just as well in a pinch. So pinch me when this is all over.
