Winter seasonal, a shaker pint's worth.

This beer pours a clear, glassy medium copper hue, with one rather skinny finger of thin wispy off-white head, which does not surprise in its expected briefness, nor in its lack of any discernable lace.

It smells of faint sweet cereal malt, soft savoury spice, and even milder earthy, ashy hops. The taste is more sweet cereal malt, a bit biscuity, some spicy nutmeg, subtle musty yeast, and very sedate earthy, leafy hops. No real effect from the elevated booze.

The carbonation is average, if a tad spritzy in the process, the body on the weak side of a solid medium weight, and just a bit too astringent to be proclaimed dead smooth. It finishes sweet and zingy, in a muddled manner, the so-called festive spices difficult to isolate, with the titular warming finally showing itself.

A pleasantly drinkable seasonal warmer, one better downed than dissected, methinks.
