2015 vintage. 12oz bottle poured into a tulip. Pours a hazy glowing amber with a small off-white head that fizzes out leaving nice retention and okay lacing. The aromas are very nice. Lots of ginger, clove and cinnamon. Some cherries in the mix along with some caramel malts. The flavors are sweet and earthy. Tons of spices. More cinnamon and ginger. Nutmeg is there. Chocolate and toffee is present. More cherries along with some orange peel. Malts do their thing. There's a subtle bitterness in the finish. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is nice. It's full-bodied; slick and syrupy with active carbonation.

This is a solid holiday brew. It's definitely fitting for this time of year. This makes for a nice sipper.
