Cloudy, orange/copper color. Thin, airy white head disappears rather quickly. A few nice patches of lace are left on the glass.

Nose has a bit of oak, spices, nutmeg, and some orange peel. Maybe a bit of floral hops in the background. Nothing overdone here.

A nice compliment of spices seem to carry the flavor. Orange peel and nutmeg, with some earthy bitterness. All very subtle. A bit of oak in the flavor.

Light body, and carbontaion. Flavors come together well. This beer is all about being subtle. Alcohol is hidden well. Nice.

Hazey apple cider appearance with a minimal white head. A thin lace is left behind.

Slight woodsy aromatics with bready chracteristics and nutmeg ginger, with a bit of fruit mixed in.

Very nice and easy to drink. Oak compliments this beer very nicely. Vanilla laced with a toasty caramel toffee backbone. Subtle flavors of oak add much depth. Mouth is creamy, rich, and unyielding. Some spicey components with a hop bitterness showing on the finish. Very drinkable on cask.
