It's cold as hell and raining outside so I decided to go down to the Gaslight and try one of their winter seasonal offerings. Brought this baby home in one of their glass growlers.

Appearance-Out of the growler and into the pint glass....black as night with a three inch creamy head that sticks around and to the side of the glass, exceptional clarity in the color. This is a good looking beer!

Smell-ooh man, luscious caramel malt hits the senses immediately, other sweet malts support it, slight coffee nuances as well.

Taste-deep and rich, very malty on the toungue, a huge licorice flavor comes out, smooth on the way down, with a weird bitter twang and dryness coming on in the end.

Mouthfeel-not that hoppy, very malty so it leans toward that side of the spectrum, the bitter twang I"m not a fan of but I do like the flavor beforehand.

Drinkability-I love the rush of flavors in the brew, with the exception of the odd flavor twang at the end it is exceptional.

Overall-another fine beer from Gaslight, this is a winter seasonal offering that will certaintly warm your stomach with its rich malt and flavoring, I just wish it didn't have that weird twang near the end of the finish, other than that though this is top-notch stuff.
