look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Aroma: Spices are strong and upfront. Anise is probably the strongest giving a firm black licorice note. Other Christmas type spices are noted as well, but hard to pick out. Ginger? Nutmeg? Mace? I think they might have gotten a bit heavy handed with the spices.

Appearance: Very black with some clarity noted at the edges. A thin collar and scant lace, but this is the second pour off the growler.

Flavor: Again, the spices are upfront and in your face. At the edge of too much, but enjoyable. Hard to get anything under it, maybe a Schwarzbier base?

Mouthfeel: Medium to light body, slightly oily in the finish. I won’t commend on carbonation as again, this is the second pour.

Overall Impression: A really nice, if a bit too spicy Christmas beer. Glad I got the growler!
