Pours a deep red with thick reddish brown head that sits at around two fingers. Nose is super malty with caramel, cinnamon, clove, raisins, nutmeg, figs, some toffee, a bit of pine, some kind of doughy scents in there as well, molasses and brown sugar. The taste is similar with the spices more up front. Clove, figs, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, caramel, pine, toffee, dates and just a tinge of hop bitterness. It has a medium body with good carbonation and a somewhat dry finish. This is a pretty excellent winter warmer. I used to hate this style, but with my love of malts having developed over the past 2 years this tastes like its gonna be a fun holiday season for brews once the stout season ends (which is ALWAYS my favorite beer season).

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

Appearance - Pours a dark chestnut brown with a finger width of foamy cream head.

Smell - Caramalts, spices, brown sugar.

Taste - Caramalts, dark fruit, with nice sweetness from brown sugar. Nice spice, though it is hard to identify which spices in particular. Bit of a hop twist, providing the bitterness.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Overall - A very unique and off-the-beaten-path Winter Warmer by Deschutes. Almost shares similarities with a red/amber ale. A nice way to celebrate a 25th anniversary.
