16oz can served in a footed pilsner glass. Canned on date starts with 11/1...but the rest is illegible. Received in NBS BIF #15 from @superspak. Currently the listing calls this a Belgian Dark at 4.9%, but the label says it's a spiced winter ale at 6.5%.
Pours a light cola color with pretty large head, creamy, settles into a thick layer. Smell is spices -- allspice and a little ginger more than cinnamon. Little bit of a yeasty/bready (gingerbread dough!) aroma.
Taste is again lots of spice, bitterness coming from somewhere, maybe it has a hint of a cola flavor, but I think I get more of a toffee nuttiness. Something odd about this that I can't place and that I don't like a lot. Kind of a burnt flavor, almost a burnt plastic. It's faint.
Mouthfeel is surprisingly light, smooth. Overall, it's not bad, but it would be much better if I wasn't getting that weird burnt note.
