Notes:

Aged well, keeps on giving - fantastic beer. Ryan and I drank this alongside Anchor Xmas Ale, and this blew Anchor to dust - excellent body, flavor develops as you drink it.

Notes:

So far - spices came through, hoppiness came through as well. Not too overly sweet. Complex - we'll have to see how it turns out.
