This has become one of my go-to beers, I just can't get enough of it. It's malty, caramelly and just plain delicious. I would drink this year-round if I could because the spices are super subtle; in fact I can't even discern cinnamon or nutmeg due to the overwhelmingly deliciousness of the caramel and graham cracker.
