a dual pop of plum and dark cherry notes, surrounded by raw sugar and clove-spicy tones — big, bold, rich and malty, all in one holiday-inspired ale

12 ounce can, no dating that I noticed on the can or label. Thanks to Brutaltruth for this brew! Served in a Teku, the beer pours a reddish/amber color with about an inch light tan head that stuck around a little while. There's also a good amount of lacing. The brew smells like plums, cloves, cherry and some orange peel. I think the taste is pretty much like the aroma, but there's also some banana, candi sugar and some sweet spiciness noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit slick and syrupy with a moderate amount of carbonation. Kinda seems like a Christmas Ale/Quad hybrid to me, and I liked it too. Certainly worth picking up if you come across some!

From the 12 oz can in a snifter. This solid little brew pours a nice
copper color with a moderate head of khaki foam that settles to a
thick ring, thin clumping layer, and sport some nice light lacing.
Nose of candy sugar, dark dried fruits, clove, banana hints, and
plum. Flavors surpass the nose with a fine presentation of candy
sugars, cherry, light cranberry, light orange zest, dates, clove, and
faint banana with light breaded malts. Mouth feel is medium, light
carbonation that is subtly prickly, and finishing nicely spiced and
lightly dry.

Overall, a solid little brew.

Cheers
