Pours dark with a big fluffy loose tan head.
Clove and or cinnamon on the nose. Nice.
Overall, the clove is prominent with out being intense, coffee notes round this out a little.
Slight creamy mouth feel.
This really had more in common with some (1&2) of the Xmas beers I've had recently-
I can't say I got much in the way of roasted malts or chocalate which leads me to conclude that this is not true to style in my opinion.

Nice fluffy white head that dissapates leaving a cloudy lace on the glass. The beer is an orange copper colour.
Smell: citrus, of course!
That summery floral flavour that I love is up front , sweet & a little malty- I can't help thinking of marmalade when I have this type of beer tho not as tart tasting.
A bitterness comes in the end, tho not overwheming. The abv creeps up on you-quite warming for sure. So not really a session beer.
I love the reminder of the citrus hops I got when I burped after having this beer!
