Aroma is pretty neutral. Nothing special and that’s made it average in my opinion. Taste was dark chocolate, some earth and plenty of smoke. Overall, decent. And wish i would have had a couple more. Thanks pal! LilBeerDoctor (1526), East Setauket, New York, USA

Aroma of sweet malt , fruits, strawberry seeds and raspberry seeds. Flavor of bitter hops, toast, and light fruits. Easy drinking and quite tasty! More of an amber ale than ASA to me. Quite good! dirt55 (155), Washington, USA

Deep amber color with a very thin head. This was a great winter beer. The flavors where crisp and deep. There where a tons of different spices from clove, some orange peel and a tad of vanilla in the taste. Deep malty caramel flavors this was a great beer for an odd time to be served in the summer.
