Stoudt's Holiday Reserve
Winter 2001-2002 version. Deep copper/ flaming orange appearance. Slightly hazy. Small beige head. Aroma is burnt molasses, rum, chocolate and sweet toffee. It's a nice aroma. The mouthfeel is very smooth and the carbontion is dulled, but appropriate. Body is about medium full. The flavors are blended and easy going. I've never had a fresh version of this, but an aged one does me fine. Smooth molasses, brown sugar, rum and brandy, toffee and blackened malts. Oh yeah. This 1 Pint 9.87 FL. OZ. bottle is going down easy.
