gottalottaibu (238), charlotte, North Carolina, USA Feb 16, 2008 bottle. amber/ruby pour. small head. sweet malt aroma. light spice. taste is sweet upfront. light fruit and spice. nice flavors for winter but needs to balance out the sweetness a bit more.
nbutler11 (223), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Oct 14, 2008 Pours a warm plum color from the bomber with a creamy tan head. Smells and tastes of sweet Mexican sugar, cream, cinnamon, and red wine. A cross between a barleywine and a German gluhwein -- festive and highly drinkable. matt7215 (578), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Aug 13, 2008 12 oz bottle from a trade with Funknmilla. 2007 vintage. pours deep amber with a quick tan head. aromas are dark fruits, some spice. the flavour is pretty bland with some dark wheat beer characteristics. mouthfeel is thin. mediocure at best. thx for the bottle Funk! badnewsbeers (982), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Aug 3, 2008 cloudy amber with small head...aroma of clove, banana, spice, and cinnamon...flavor is similar with added hints of nutmeg...nice overall TheDean (784), MIlwaukee, Wisconsin, USA May 17, 2008 While I was excited about this beer and it was a beautiful color, I am really underimpressed with this beer. Can’t wait for this glass to be gone. blklab2007 (570), Connecticut, USA May 13, 2008 bottle poured a caramel amber color with a thick frothy light tan two finger head that fell very slowly. light carbonation with tiny bubbles. aroma has caramel malt, spice, vanilla, sweetness, and some light minerals. mouth feel is medium light and slight frothiness at the sides of the tongue saving it from becoming thin. has a spicy malt flavor with some hops coming through mid sip bringing in some bitterness. finish follows through with malt and light bitters. actually quite drinkable and held up well for being brewed probably six months ago.
