Dark brown with a foamy white head. Smell is very strong molasses and ginger, and so is the flavor. The spices are a bit overpowering, and their combination makes for a grassy taste that makes it difficult to enjoy. Not very good, despite a promising premise.

This pours a cola caramel with a thick creamy head.
The aroma is like a strong Christmas tree, with a herbaceous piney blend of goodness coming across.
The flavor is sharply bitter without being hoppy.
There’s a blend of Christmas spices, herbal and medicinal.
I like that flavor profile and the combination. Works for me.
