Dec 31, 2008 12 oz bottle, 2008 edition. Clear chestnut brown with a thin beige head. Nose is nutty, a bit roasty, toffee. Caramel flavors, lightly bitter nuttiness, a tad roasty. Mildly bitter finish that somehow ends up a bit dry. Not too shabby.

Dec 28, 2008 Pours a brown dark malt color with a nice 2 finger tan head rising up . Easy to drink not the high alc slap of most Christmas brews. Nice malt balance and not over the top on anything . Not overly hopped or spiced just a nice balance. I am glad I got a 6pk very easy to sit down and drink 2-3 of these. Alc content is well hidden and undetectable . A little thin on the mouth feel but thats not a bad thing. Decent brew..

Dec 26, 2008 12.26.08. dimpled mug. malt and roasty to the nose. dark color, very thin off white head. mostly malt flavor, hint of nice. nothing too special. alcohol percentage is a plus, and the fact that i cannot get in florida is a bonus, but still nothing to write home about. all in all an average beer.

Dec 17, 2008 Bottle at home. Nice, simple Christmas brew. Pours a very dark brown with a minimal tan head. Aroma is mostly hops. Flavour is not very complex, more hops and some roasted malt plus coffee. Nothing amazing but solid.

Dec 17, 2008 Bottle shared by emacgee. Thanks Ethan. Pours a slightly translucent brown amber with no head. Nose of grains and crappy BMC. Flavor is heavy BMC and metal. This is bad.
