look: 2.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3

Had on tap at the Taphouse Grill in Downtown Seattle in a standard pint glass.

Poured a bloodish-black color with an inch of thin foam head.

Smell was of semi-dark chocolate malt with aromas of cherry and cranberry.

Taste was bitter, maybe a slight, slight chinotto flavor if you've ever had the san pellegrino beverage, and texture was definitely of cobwebb, probably the most cobwebb-tasting brew I've ever had! (I guess that would be due to the yeast characteristic in the name).

Probably the least favorite beer I've had in a while. But to be fair, I was going into my third different pint, and the brew wasn't pairing well with my popcorn shrimp....

Serving type: on-tap

A: Poured a murky deep orangish with good carbonation and a decent dirty white cap

S: Citrus hops and thats about it

T: A murky blend of caramel, yeasty bubblegum notes and citrus hops and a light booxe sting

M: Medium bodied, weird with yet more hops

O: Not sure where this beer was going but it's not anywhere close to the Winter Warmer style, not even by AHA or BJCP standards, surely not by taste

Serving type: bottle
