Holidale 2022 - Snickerdoodle Strong Ale
Berkshire Brewing Company

Pours a frothy bubbly small head with fair retention and lacing, semi hazy deep auburn to ruby color

Nose brings cinnamon but not over the top, vanilla candy, some sweet coffee syrup, general holiday spice like and a little fruity notes, candied sweet fruit a bit citrus and stone fruit like, some orange and mulled spice vanilla coffee thing

Taste starts sweet with more candy, caramel, toffee, candied fruit again with more citrus and a little dried stone fruit maybe apricot, plenty more spice with cinnamon and a bit of general holiday mulling spice, fair amount of mulled holiday drink kinda thing, some vanilla but not much, some bitterness from the spices and mild spicy hops, a bit of smooth alcohol, semi dry finish but lingering sweet caramel vanilla and holiday mulled beverage

Mouth is med bod, med to a bit higher frothy carb, light warming alcohol

Overall not bad, thankfully not over the top cinnamon or vanilla, but in general an OK beer that doesn't have that extra oomph
