2.85/5  rDev -18.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.5
No bottle date that I can see.

Appearance: Murky dark chestnut brown body with a quickly fading creamy white head. Despite the lack of any real head it leaves good lacing on the glass.

Aroma: It has a very faint aroma presence. There is some allspice right up front with a bit of clove. There is some bubblegum aroma in there too. Again the aroma is very faint.

Taste: Fortunately the flavor profile is stronger than the aroma, but not by much. It has a faint cinnamon flavor with a stronger toasted malt flavor which is nice. There is an extremely light earthy quality at the end.

The beer tastes very faded.

Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel is about average. It doesn't really amplify or detract from the flavor of the beer.

Overall: It's not a beer I would go out of my way to recommend. It tastes a bit old...I really wish it had a bottled on date or something...everything from the malt character, yeast character, spice presence, and the hop flavors taste very subdued. If I see it in the bottle shop next year I'll probably give it one more shot but this season I'll pass on a second bomber...

Poured from a bomber into a shaker pint, the beer is a hazy, ruby-tinted toffee coloring, with a slow flow of carbonation in the body, and a dense, creamy, off-white head. Aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, fig, date, raisin, cherry, and a richly sweet, bready backbone. This smells like a big flavored, spiced holiday treat. Flavors are rich and sweet forward, heavy on the fruit blend of date, cherry, fig, raisin, and apple, with subtle caramel and chocolate highlights, and a solid spice blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, and all spice. Smooth, light bodied, almost creamy, with a sweet and spiced fruit cake aftertaste. Smooth, slow, lingering finish. Very solid winter warmer.
