| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 25, 2006 Mahogany color with very little head. Aroma is malty with a spicy sour twinge.. Flavor is grainy (seems to be a dominant factor in all the breckennride brews) with some bitterness towards the finish. Not alot of hop flavors or complexity. A warming beer that......although boreing... is easily quaffable. ebarnes (213), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

Looks like I just poured a flat soda into my Chimay glass. No head at all. Just a few bubbles. Cola colored as well. Aroma is dominated by spice. Cloves, cinnamon, maybe ginger. Smooth, malty, spicy flavor that disguises the alcohol quite nicely. Nice beer. Wakie (612), Centreville, Virginia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 8, 2006 Definitely a winter beer. Slightly more alcoholic than the standard, with a lot of flavors blended together (caramel, chocolate, cloves, etc). The downside is that all of these flavors almost negate each other.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 7, 2006 This beer offers an aroma consisting of hops, barley, malt, clove, and pine. It is a copper colored solution with an off-white head that dissolves rather quickly. This thin beer tingles the tongue as a flavor infused with hops, malt, and pine flows over the tongue. oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 1, 2006 Pours a nice dark reddish amber color. Aromas of spices, and some other hints, maybe fruit, maybe caramel. Flavor is a bittersweet, malty, and a hint of hops with a nice dry finish. 1FastSTi (2557), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 12, 2006 Pours to a mahogany body with a thick creamy off white head. Nice lacing. The aroma is strong. Gingerbread cookies, raisin bread, cinnamon, nutmeg, christmas wreath. The flavor is much the same as the aroma but has caramel and white chocolate as well. The palate is creamy, medium bodied, and lightly spicy. BeerandBlues2 (3203), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 3, 2006 12-oz. bottle. Pours mahagony, walnut brown with a foamy off-white head. Cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla notes, aroma is fruity hop and malt (cookie) with trace yeast. Yeast bomb, malt (grain) flavor with medium sweetness, no acidity or bitterness, caramel notes. Medium bodied and smooth, clean palate. sfontain (506), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 2, 2006 Dark amber with a bit of red; medium frothy head; fair lacing down the glass. Aroma is malty with a light dose of caramel; some raisin and just a hint of pine. Flavor is fairly weak; slightly malty, slightly nutty; just barely shows alcohol. Medium body; sticky. A lame beer with a lot of potential, but this needs work.
