look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Bottle poured into a snifter glass

Pours a reddish brown color with a decent sized off white head.

Smell is sweet with carmel and spices. Very strong fragance.

Taste is a bit of a let down after the smell. Slight sweetness and spices but not as much going on as the smell would lead you to believe.

A bit of a letdown, the first beer from Revolution that was not a hit for me.

A - Pours a dark caramel amber color with calm and minimal foam. Dies down to leave a light lacing ring around the glass. Swirling the glass creates a light, but sticky leftover resin that oozes down the sides of the glass.

S - Juniper, roasted caramel, honey, cloves?, nutmeg?. Overall aroma is light.

T - Juniper, toasted caramel, malt forward, light pine bittering.

M - Thin medium body.

O - Meh

I picked up a couple of bombers of this one. Served in a standard pint, the beer is dark copper bordering on brown. It has a decent beige head and lacing.

Pine, citrus and caramel malts in the nose.

The taste is similar to the smell; it is slightly sweet but with some decent bitterness. A bit of pine, a dash of lemon & grapefruit all balanced by some light brown caramelized sugar. Maybe a bit more of toffee and caramel in the finish as the hops fade a bit at the end.

Mouth is nice and slightly coating.

Not sure what makes it a holiday beer, but it is a darn good beer.
