shrubber85 (2836), Wallhalben, Germany May 31, 2007 Bottle. Vanilla/maple syrup aroma. Amber with a moderate head. Maple syrup and malt flavor - like eating a waffle. A bit cloying and on the weak side. Not a fan Ughsmash (3983), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Apr 20, 2007 Bottled. Poured deeper orange with a short cap of beige head. Aroma was all about the caramel, chestnuts, and wintry spices.. and it didn’t work at all... there was an artificially sweet aire to it. Flavor had an artificially-sweetened caramel and cookie dough base with nutmeggy spices that linger for far too long tacky finish. Light-ish bodied. Did not like it. chicagobears (336), Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA Apr 3, 2007 Pours a dark roasted amber. So much caramel, cookie dough, and nutmeg. Its a real sweet desert beer. It hits the Winter season dead on. Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Mar 16, 2007 12oz bottle- A nice dark amber with an off white head. It has an aroma of caramel and more caramel. The taste follows the aroma with caramel, nuts, and malt. Great tasting brew. ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA Mar 1, 2007 I like the subtle spices in this beer. Doesnt look like anything special but a decent alternative to bland macros. Nice color too. Overall a nice beer. DrnkMcDermott (1832), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA Feb 23, 2007 Draft. Nothing distiguishable at all.here. Does look nice, though. Almost amber color. Decent foamy head. But not much to smell of taste. maybe a mere touch of spice here. A typical Coors in its total lack of hops. Many weak parts, but it seems to come together a little better in the whole. Metalhead (570), Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA Feb 12, 2007 Sweet ,caramel ,malts and a hint of spices. Oh yea,almost forgot the vanilla extract.Thats the whole sheebang. Both aroma and taste. "ok’ But wouldn’t buy again. There are other macro specials better than this. alaskanwarren (286), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 8, 2007 In a word: disappointing. Loads of caramel maltiness and not much else going on. I could tell some spices and that was cool, but it just didn’t strike me as being very beer-y. I wanted something a bit more complex and less sweet. If I was brewing this I’d consider trying to balance the richness with more alcohol and some of those spicy hops that they say are in there.
