This ale pours moderately smooth with a medium amount of carbonation action producing a half inch tall medium high density tan colored foam head with a high retention rate somewhat creamy texture this beer shows moderate amount of leasing on the glass no visible sidling no sediments and a moderate amount of effervescent effect this beer is clear with an amber rich colored shine medium brightness in lights a fairly bright glow This beer has a fairly sweet malty somewhat roasted aroma overall with a hints of gingerbread and cinnamon like spice some anise as well very little hops to speak of very little alcohol considering an elevated I'll call strength no metallic tinge and a very dull slightly fruity secondary, aroma is medium low and strength This beer has a medium body with an average weight, a medium viscosity a slightly crisp finish and a lingering doll dryness at the close, despite an 8 percent ABV this beer has no alcohol bites or warm and and a medium low amount of carbonation. This is a fairly smooth textureless beer which is suitable for all months of the year. This beer Offers little refreshment Overall this has a fairly medium roasted sweet malt presents with a good amount of spice some cinnamon and ginger in a tiny amount of liquorice to note there is also very little hops in the overall flavor and despite elevated alcohol presence not too much in the way of attendance from alcohol or metallic notes, beer has a slightly earthy and would like undertone and a fairly biscuit the secondary flavor that tastes like a sweet cookie, beer finishes mostly sweet with a slightly dry finish and a lingering semi sweet Malty aftertaste
