Bottle. Aroma of pepper and malty tones, earthiness, nuts, brown sugar. Flavor the same, never noteworthy in any area, nor in their combination. Medium bodied. Nothing exciting here.

Bottle. Pours a clear brown with a very small ring of tan head. Aroma of general spices (peppery?) and sweet malt. Flavor of an amber ale with spiced caramel malt. Definite spicy/peppery notes. Spicy burn in the finish. This is an ok beer, but nothing I would seek out again. More like a S/H/V than an amber ale. Decent.

[bottle - 12 oz] Amber color with a soapy tan head and decent lacing. Aroma is malty with some spices including gingerbread, cinnamon, and some brown sugar. Taste begins sweet with some sugar and dark malts but then goes to a slightly hoppy middle and a lightly spiced finish. Warms on the way down.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Dark amber brown with lasting ring and some lace. Spice and brown sugar aroma. Brown sugar, dark fruit, and spice with medium bitter lingering finish. Medium body, slight carbo bite. Typical for a nondescript Winter ale.

on tap at the brewery in patchogue. Pours a hazy dark brown color. Aroma was less prominent than I expected- some spices, some malt. Taste was kind of bitter but well balanced. Hihnts of doughyness toward the end of the drink. Palate was average. Not a bad option when its cold outside but there are much better winter ales available.
