Got from Joe P. Bottled in October 2007. Pours a dark reddish brown, head is fizzy, off white and mostly diminishing. The aroma is a little pine, some molasses. The initial flavor is a little sweet, sour and a touch bitter. Some alcohol hits at the end, not bad. The body is light, the carbonation soft. A better beer than I thought it was going to be. Maybe some aging did it well.

Sassafras clove and molasses nose hint of chocolate and lemony hops. Burned amber color with some lacing. Raisin brown sugar with good bitterness. Creamy mouth feel, good carbonation, this beer finishes nicely with some warmth and hop aroma. Decent winter beer, surprised by the hop aromas coming through at the end...different and good.

Bottle from S&K Beverages in Plano, TX. Pours a dark brown with red hue’s, offwhite head. Aroma of fruit notes and some caramel, hops. Flavor is semi sweet with caramel, fruit, hops, with nice hop bitter, alcohol spice. Mouth feel is medium with high carbonation. Overall, good stuff.

bottle thanks to swalden 28. poured a dark brown with ruby hues and an off white head. aroma of caramel and floral notes. flavor had caramel and hops. overall not a bad christmas ale.

Pours a thin almost clear light brown. Strong rye aroma with some cloves the peak a bit as it warms up along with some liquorish. Tangy spice flavor with some nuttyness, but then it dies down to merky water. Palate is thin, the beer is boring.
