Poured into Stemmed Glass (Rogue Christmas) at 42°. Color is deep and dark with just a little amber showing in the light. Carbonation is very low with a small off white head. Aroma is sweet and spicy with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. It has a medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is full of spice, nutmeg, clove and a touch of cinnamon with a little bit of raisin showing through and the oats giving it a nice creaminess. In the aftertaste a mellow bitterness comes out as the spices gently fade. Overall I think this came out great, I'm still not a fan of spiced brews and I may go with just a little less next time. That being said this is a very good brew
