Pours a nice clean clear brown color. 2 finger off white/tan head. Retention is good. Some lacing on the glass.
Nose is somewhat minimal. There's a bit of sweet, bread malts on the nose.
Taste - Sweet, bread malts, but a bit of cinnamon also. Nutty, and a bit of a roast flavor.
Ok, body. Not bad for this style.
Not a "session" beer, but easy drinking, and tasty.

I thought this was a regular brown ale but under further review apparently it has toasted pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and ginger all added to it. Comes across like a nice holiday ale. Cinnamon and nutmeg are very evident and carry the flavor...seems to be a nice little brown ale base to it but hard to tell with all the spicing.
It's good for what it's meant to be but I couldn't drink much of this. Would be curious how this would be with just the toasted pecans added.
