We made this classic style to usher in the beautiful Winter season in Central NY. Its deceptively simple grain bill creates a wonderful malt complexity while the added spices were chosen to enhance and balance this delicate beer. The orange peel creates a citrus aromatic on top of the caramely deliciousness that keeps you wanting more. Cheers!

Mostly opaque cherrywood pour with an off-white foam head. Smell captures the baking winter spices, orange peel, and toasted caramel malts. Taste has those but a bitter roasty note ends up leading it all. The pieces are here, but the execution is subpar. Feel is light and spiced with a malty emphasis though the harsher yeast is there in the finish.

16oz can from Tavour, straight outta my home town. Clear amber pour, thin creamy beige head. Malty a aroma with a touch of mulling spice. Taste is malty and sweet, caramel, with the holiday spice providing some gentle savory notes.
