Medium-to-dark in color (almost a little 'thick' looking, in fact), this brew had hints of what may have been fruit on the aroma. Weighing in at a healthy 8.1% alcohol, this seasonal was smooth with an almost syrupy taste. Neither fruit nor hops were to be found in said taste, though -- in fact I couldn't find this beer had much of a taste at all. A disappointing beer, especially given how expensive this little bottle was. -- Brewmeister G
