JoeMcPhee (6961) - Toronto, ON, - DEC 12, 2004
UPDATED: DEC 14, 2005 2005 version. Hazy amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma is very spicy, nutmeg, cinnamon, plummy/pudding-like malts. Light toffee and faint diacetyl, but it actually works with all of these sweet malts. Spices tend to come across a bit astringent and harsh. Lingering sweetish finish. 2004 version. Dark brown beer with a thick tan head. Sweet bready malt aroma. Warming spices, a big trace of biscuity aroma and sweet fruits. A touch of ginger. Slight toasty flavour and aroma. Aroma gives the impression of root beer. Dusty yeast flavour, long sweet finish. Quite good. 7/3/7/4/14

Hooker (465) - Coquitlam, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 11, 2004
Small head that disappeared quickly. Light Spiced nose with nutmeg aroma. Clear light brown in colour. Strong spicy taste with nutmeg and malt profiles.

BeerPrince (1701) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 13, 2004
Amber/Copper colour, with an aroma of ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon, caramel. Flavour is quite spicy with ginger and nutmeg dominating. Finishes spicy and sweet. The 8% ABV is nicely masked with the loads of spice and flavour. A nice beer winter ale.

Oakes (10184) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 29, 2002
Copper colour; aroma shows ginger, lemon zest, caramelly malts. Palate again brings ginger, but also a healthy dose of anise as well, alongside light crystal malts, maybe sarsaparilla, finishing spicy and sweet. Pretty drinkable, considering how much I despise anise.
