A: Deep caramel apple red when backlighted exposes micro-string beads of carbonation. Parchment toned head is frothy at one finger with a well lasting demeanor. Sparse lacing.

S: Fruit pineapple, mandarin oranges and apples with some fresh cranberries.

T: The flavor was fruity,almost bock like, caramel, apple with a bit of cranberry. Sweet upfront, some honey caramel malting with a warming of cherry alcohol.

M: Syrupy, full bodied, good sense of carbonation and a warming of cherry cough medicine.

O: Overall moderate, mild complexity, mildly amusing and mild drinkability. Decent alcohol warmth but nothing that holds and keeps your interest.

A: Deep, earthy brown with a copper tone, highly carbonated and 2 fingers of tan head.

S: Malts, light malts compared to the colour, slight lemon.

T: Follows the nose of light malts, slight lemon, then a darker burt taste comes in, followed by a nice yeastiness which is very pleasant.

M: Medium, bready body, highly carbonated.

O: 8 out of 10. Good beer, would go well with lots of things especially pizza. Middle of the road and flexible as far as flavours.

Pours a rich black-sable with a thick and rather persistent tan head. Aroma has a core of roast malt with hints of cloves and caramel. Mainly malty flavor has smoky and woody hoppy notes plus a hint of cloves, none too strong. Texture is the weak point, being a bit watery and not too fizzy. Still, a decent winter ale, worthy of at least a try.
