Dark chestnut hue with some red highlights too. Minimal head but nevertheless some decent lacing.

A little bit of hop aroma but really very little.

Taste is a dry hop with a little spice. For a winter warmer this is very subdued but still very drinkable. Some nice bitterness in the finish.

Mouthfeel is OK, but a very average performer in most categories. OK, but nothing spectacular to report.
