Part of the OCB Holiday 2010 Discover Pack. The beer poured a translucent dark gold colour with a very thin white ring for a head and mild effervescence. The aroma is grainy malts and not much else. The mouthfeel is watery and the carbonation is low. The flavour is grainy malt, slightly sweet, and acidic. Not impressed at all.

I tried this beer on December 8, 2010 after purchasing from the RBC Plaza LCBO outlet. The beer pours a translucent red with a generous foamy tan head. The aroma is nutmeg, cinnamon, caramel malt, and some floral hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour is cinnamon, nutmeg, malt, and a bitter hop finish. The spices were very very evident in the taste. A nice winter warmer. A bit on the expensive side however!
