16 oz pint at Taco Mac on the East West Connector, Austell, GA, USA.
Having tried a few of the RJ Rockers line so far (and been impressed) I was happy to see this and keen to give it a whirl.
Pour is somewhat ordinary looking in terms of color (a golden macro color), but above average in terms of head and lace.
Nose is an interesting combination of faint cinnamon and a bunch of other spices. This carries through to the tastes where we get an solid but subtle arrangement of Winter Warmer tastes with mixed spice, cinnamon and orange peel all coming through nicely. It is VERY well balanced and has a very light touch in the mouth but still manages to be satisfying.
The REALLY interesting thing about this beer is that it combines the typical spices of a Winter Warmer in a lager like body and background. Normally you’d expect this array of tastes in a darker malt based ale so it makes for a pretty unusual, if not unique beer.
Another strong brew from an increasingly impressive stable. Someone is doing something right in the early days of this emerging player. I’m going to be taking a close interest in their future.
