Finally (as in the fourth beer in my overpriced $10 flight) a non-sour beer. Still not overly interesting, but I don't have any specific complaints. Not too heavy on the spices with some nice roasted and caramel character.

Served off a nitro tap in a pint glass. Pours pitch black with a fluffy off white nitro head. Smells of sweet grain, slight chocolate. Tastes of creamy slight chocolate and slight earthiness. Beer is extremely smooth and light bodied. Overall, a slightly above average beer.

Draft, at the Pratt Street Ales House, Baltimore poured into a goblet
Appearance: Pours a beautiful, completely opaque, pitch-black color with a quarter of a finger of white-colored head that slowly dissolved into a thin lacing of foam that completely covered the top of the beer.
Aroma: Very aromatic, with lots of roasted malt, imparting notes of freshly toasted dark bread, dark chocolate, lots of brown sugar, a touch of licorice and a touch of floral, piney hops.
Taste: Similar to the aroma. Lots of roasted malt up front, imparting notes of freshly toasted dark bread, followed by lots of licorice, dark chocolate, caramel and brown sugar-like sweetness, a touch of sour cherries and finished by some beautifully balanced piney, slightly bitter hops. Delicious!
Mouthfeel: Chewy and very, very creamy as there is no carbonation what-so-ever. With an ABV of 7.4%, this beer is quite surprising as there is quite a bit of pleasant alcohol warmth on the palate, giving off the impression that it is a much bigger beer that it is.
Overall: What a great beer! Lots of great flavor wrapped up in a smooth, creamy quaff. Another great beer from one of my favorite Baltimore brew-pubs! Highly recommended!

Appearance: Dark but amber red in the light, little to no head (severed from a glower about an hour after it was opened)
Smell: Buttered Popcorn is the only way I can describe this, intriguing with a slightly roasted feel.
Taste: Starts fresh with a nice hoppy bite, you get a little bit of the honey and heather in the after taste before the hops come back.
Mouthfeel: Again almost buttery in feel, not too thick but thick enough to match the 7% ABV. Deff right on point for what I want a winter warmer to be.
Overall: I wouldn't recommend this as a Winter Warmer honestly. This falls more into the artisan Ale category. The buttery hoppsy flavor is defiantly welcoming but I don't see this as a winter beer. Save it for the spring and you have yourself a winner, nice taste and consistency, chill it to ice cold and enjoy like a lemonade in my opinion.
