This beer comes from Boonville, California and the label identifies it as "a unique beverage created to add warmth to even the coldest and darkest of winter's days."
One thing that jumped out at me when i picked up this bottle was that the cap stated that the brewery is solar-powered. Seemed pretty cool. The label says that it is to be stored between 40 and 45 degrees because it is not heat pasteurized nor sterile filtered, I got it from the unrefrigerated aisle of my local store. Fortunately, I did not notice any ill-effects from this.
This beer pours a reddish-amber in color. The sweet smell is very noticeable. I noticed a little spicy scent too.
The malts give it a caramel taste that goes well with the added holiday spices. I sensed nutmeg and cinnamon with perhaps a little citrus along the way.
While it packs a slightly higher alcohol level at 6.9%, it isn't overpowering.

This is a very drinkable beer. I wish I had bought more than one.
