My Review:

Beer?  Yes, Please.  This warm and nutty beer is perfect for a cold winter's day, featuring a deep gold/brown color and a warm nutty fragrance.  There is a milk chocolatey and nutty taste towards the mid-end palate, with almost no bitterness or heat from the alcohol.  Funny enough, this beer reminds me of tootsie rolls and hot chocolate, a definite winter must-have.  While it is a little on the sweet side for my taste, I would absolutely recommend this slightly thik beer during the winter/holiday season.  Cheers!
