On tap at the Holiday Ale Festival.
The beer pours a solid brown color with excellent head retention and lacing. The nose on this beer is impressive, and I get a lot of vanilla (no doubt from extended oak aging), cherry and a boatload of underlying spice. There is also some underlying hoppy citrus as well, and the combination of aromas and flavors in this beer are really working for me. Flavors replicate the nose pretty closely, though the sweetness and noticeable alcohol detract just a tad from this beer's drinkability. Still, this stuff is almost like drinking beer eggnog, which believe it or not, I find I'm really enjoying. Mouthfeel is medium bodied to full, with a fairly long finish. While the alcohol is noticeable, and there's no way I could drink a lot of this, this was still an absolutely delicious beer.
Definitely one of the hilights of the HAF for me. Quite impressive.
