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.

Pours a very dark mahogany color with a very little head. Smell is that of hops and rich malts. Good caramel taste, but not to much. Good rich Christmas ale. Good brew.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a thin off-white head. Light aroma of malt and spices. Taste of malt, spices, toast, and candied fruits. Lingering light malt. Pretty tasty.

Pours a dark brown with a tan head leaves a nice lacing... Sweet and a bit spicy aroma... Flavor is a bit non-descript with slightly roasted malts with a touch of spice in the finish... A bit bland and boring... Thinner finish than i would expect...

poured nice dark brown with a bit of mahogany of the sides, nice 2 finger head. Not too much smell to it, some hops in there. Much more flavor than smell. Decent brew mainly taste roasted malt, a little sweet, and the had has a pleasant bitter hop finish, but definitley not too bitter or i wouldn’t like it. I would get this again for sure, BUT there are too many other great winter brews that outshine this....but no doubt worthy.

very deep brown in color with a light tan creamy and thick head with very nice lacing. has a very roasted aroma with some nuttiness and spice. slightly sweet caramel flavor with some nuttiness. mild hops and a bit of oakiness end in a dry finish. mouthfeel is a a bit thin for this style.
