12 oz poured into a Kasteel goblet glass.

Appearance- Dark blood red with a thin layer of off white bubbly head that lasts through out and leaves good lacing.

Smell- Just like if you took hops and roasted them over an open fire. Also, some nuttiness.

Taste- Very similar to the nose. You get a roasted hop flavor with the tinyest but of pine and citrus hop.

Mouthfeel- Medium that fits well with the flavor profile.

Overall- Very interesting beer with a great take on the season it is released.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a 14 oz "pint" glass. Pours a deep red with a nice foamy slightly off white head. Smells of deep caramelized malt with chocolate and slight floral aroma. Tastes of slight chocolate with nice piney/earthy hop bite. The malt dominates at first, then the hops take over. Beer is carbonated fine and for a light/medium body, it goes down very smooth, could definately see throwing a couple of these back in a short time. Overall, a very good beer.
