Commercial Description:
The chill of a Colorado high-country winter calls for a beer with extra flavor and strength. Here it is. At over 7% alcohol, with a sturdy texture and rich flavors of caramel and chocolate, our holiday seasonal is the fermented equivalent of a good fire.
The ultimate winter warmer.
Available: November-December

It definately reminded me of Christmas with its spicy notes. Too bad it’s seasonal.

12 oz. bottle pours a clear garnet hue with a nice white head. Smell is nutty sweet malts and alcohol. Medium bodied with a velvety smooth mouthfeel. Taste is a very nice nutty malt sweetness with a decent hop alcohol tang to finish. A nice brew to warm up with on a cold winters night. Dec 2004

12 oz bottle from acknud! Nose is lagerish graininess with some caramel and some grassy hops; clear dark brown with a small beige head; flavor is some caramel, nuts, and very light hop bitterness; finish is slightly bitter with some light alcohol warmth.

This is a nice and mild, easy-drinking beer. Nothing special, but not bad. Malty flavoring.
