| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 23, 2006 Bottle. A brown color with a diminished light brown head. A touch of candy spices and ginger in a predominately nut and malt aroma. A nutty and malt flavor with a carboard like quality. waolsen (1222), Littleton, Colorado, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | 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. railcat1 (578), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 19, 2006 From the bottle. Hoppy nose, raisins? A good bit of zing at the roof of my mouth with my first sips. Some sweetness pokes through this fine ale, the 7+ percent abv hides itself very well. All around good strong beery flavors, malts and hops, mild bitterness and cookie flavors. Good stuff. jake65 (1698), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Dec 19, 2006 Bottle: Brown pour with a small white head and little lacing. Aroma is malty, maybe even a bit of nuttiness. Taste is moslty malt, some grain and even a bit of sourness. Thin on body and on taste. valpoaj (362), Valparaiso, Indiana, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 19, 2006 Little to no head accents this deep amber brew. Aroma is difficult to pinpoint, but has hints of spice and nuts. Bitter, yet warm finish due to the quality alcohol content, a nice, if not overwhelming, slow-drinking beer for the winter season msjacilynn (18), St Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 19, 2006 (bottle) Brown-amber in color. Head was sudsy and decipated quickly, but lace was present. Nutty in smell with a hint of herbs or spice. Smooth beer with earthy-malts in flavor. Bitter aftertaste but not overwhelming. Great beer for cuddling up in front of a fire place! brigg (216), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 19, 2006 (bottle) Dark brown body with small tan head. The head disappears but leaves lots of lace on the glass. Wonderful strong aroma - the sweet malt really shines through with some floral hops and cherries and other fruit underneath. Flavor is sweet with malty sugar, and some earthy/fruity notes. The alcohol just comes through to offer some warmth. Medium bodied with low carbonation.
