On growler at Beer City, North Babylon NY

A - Dark copper pour with a cloudy look. Eggshell foam settles fast. Some lacing in rings on the glass.

S - Scents of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger spice. Malt scent is sweet with molasses notes.

T - Brown sugar sweet flavor with a plenty of holiday spice. The spicy feel is a bit dominant as the beer warmed.

M - Like many of the holiday spiced beers, this became a bit much and onbe glass was done. Overall the feel was nice, medium bodied, and slight carbonation. If the spicy feel were balanced a bit better this would be perfect.

O - Good local holiday beer. Would try again, but not a go to for the style.

Serving type: growler
