Sep 14, 2009 I was surprised by this one as I don’t like Blue Moon. Nice bready, spicyflavors that were a welcomed surprise.

Aug 27, 2009 Not my favorite among winter beers, but ok. Pours a copper color with a nice white head. Roasted smell of malts and spices, maybe a little citrus. Spice flavor with some mild citrus. Not bad

Aug 27, 2009 Rich and glassy appearance; ruby cherry red. Nice pillowy head. Dark in the thick spots. A very nice appearance.
Not much aroma, but a hint of sour cherry. Some dark, sweet grape. Some dry wheat and bready yeast. Smells fine, but a tad weak.
Some wheaty malt flavors; interesting. Heavy, bready yeast ... ringwoodish. Acts as a balance to the sweet cherry, sour grape. Almost a cherry wheat. Pleasant. Gets sour (lambic style) with warmth.
A little dry and a little chewy. Decent and bready. A decent, sour girl beer. Not cloyingly sweet, not wimpy. A dry, sour winter ale.

Floral aroma. Bronze golden coloured and malty with some bitterness in a crisp and slightly dry finish.

Aug 19, 2009 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Really? A dubbel? An okay attempt, I suppose. Drinkable, but no Chimay.

Aug 6, 2009 [Bottle] This had been sitting around in my fridge for a while, so I decided to try it in the middle of the summer instead. Aroma of some nutmeg and spice. Taste includes some light brown sugar and caramel. Spice notes such as clove drift in and out. A mediocre winter ale at best, and probably not a Dubbel.

Jun 19, 2009 Poured from a 12-oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance was ruby red, with a slight head. Slight cinnamon and nutmeg to go with a malty aroma. Prominent taste was a roasted malt, some nuttiness and some candi sugar.

Jun 10, 2009 This is just mediocre winter ale. I want it to warm me up with spices. This beer is just dull and falls flat. The taste is a little too sweet for me. The finish is decently balanced but overall not what I wanted in winter ale.
