2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is flat malty and mild hops fruity. Dry malty, caramelish and lack hops alternative to none. Sweet and malty finish.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
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.

This pours a clear amber body with a creamy eggshell head. The aroma is caramel and vanilla. So’s thew flavor, along with some very light brown spices. Uninspired and unexciting. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Bottle Shop, West Lafayette, IN<font size=-1>

1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
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
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This beer is a dark amber color with a medium bone white head that dissipates pretty quickly. Thin, spotty lacing. Lots of vanilla aroma, along with a touch of malt and spice. Light-bodied and alternatingly spicy and vanilla-sweet. Aside from that there is a light malt flavor. The segmentation of the flavors is a little jarring but overall the flavors are okay. The finish is mildly spiced and the vanilla gives it an aftertaste like a cream soda. So-so all around.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Dark copper color with a thin head. Interesting aroma that’s kind of sweet and almost seems like molasses. Goes downhill from here... I don’t know about "winter spices". Kind of a sour dry malt taste that’s just plain.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
330 mL. Pours a clear, dark brown with a decent off-white head that settles down. Aromas of copper, roasted malt, fresh grass, and some soy sauce. Not a good combo. Taste is metallic and watery with an astringent/acidic finish. Very poor.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
This isn’t terrible but not nearly as tasty as the wit. Lots of nutmeg; more than I have ever tasted in a beer. Sweet, kind of sugary flavor with a very dry aftertaste. It is worth trying.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Poured a small fizzy ivory head that mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, transparent, fizzy, fast rising carbonation observed, and an orange hue. Nose was roasty malts, sweet, and lightly hoppy. Flavor was sweet, malty, sticky, gummy, and dry. Mouthfeel, was smooth, gummy, sticky, thin, and dry. Light in body. Nah, nothing special going on with this beer for sure. Not as tasty as their regular Blue Moon.
