Dec 31, 2006 After the few wretched beers I just had, this actually seems good - might not under normal circumstances. Pours dark bronze with a frothy light tan head. The aroma has cinnamon and spicy hops with a bit of underlying citrus and light woodiness. Medium body with lots of prickly carbonation. Flavors start with musty caramel / chocolate malt with some cinnamon. The finish has light spice and medicinal traits added. Adequate at best.

Dec 31, 2006 12oz bottle. 2006 edition. Filtered and a deep dark brown with ruby tints. Spotty off-white head. Spicy aromas. Cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. Medium to full bodied. Sweet malts and a smooth body. Rich flavor. The malts hit then the spices. Good dose of spices. Sticky with chocolate and fruitcake undertones. Sweet, cloying and sticky. Nice Christmas brew. Thick malts and a good hop note.

Dec 23, 2006 YAWN. boring. tastes cheap and thin. To me it tastes like a light beer with spice. Every time I have a Breck beer I am never dissapointed. They are always poor. I guess I had a high expectation for this brewery. Its just not very good.
