A fine looking beer, pours a deep mahogony with a light tan head. Smooth palate, but the aroma and flavor were unremarkable (at least, when compared to other winter beers). Not bad, to be sure, but nothing really jumps out at me here. I’ll probably repeat this one, but I’ll reach for another winter beer first.

May 19, 2009 Dark amber pour, medium head, nice lace. Yeasty sweet aroma. Thick with a bitter piny finish. Very light taste until it has been swallowed. A little flat, all around a disappointing and undistiguished beer.

Apr 25, 2009 Picked up at Warehouse Beverage, Cleveland. Pours dark colour, virtually no head. Aroma is a touch of roast, and that’s it. Taste is spot-on coca-cola,with spices added such as ginger and allspice. OK, but not so drinkable tonight after so many good spicey meals.Above average carbonation, and mouthfeel.

Mar 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours a brown body with a tan head. Caramel and some lightly roasted malt. Sweet with a nutty accent and some light alcohol in the finish.

Mar 17, 2009 A dark brown ale with a thick moka head. A nutty aroma with light chocolate notes and hops. In mouth, a solid nutty malt, with light molasses, some British hopping. Medium bodied. On tap at Ballpark brewpub 24 Jan. 2009.

does not count Mar 13, 2009 Has a nice malt and hops aroma. Color is a nice dark amber but then again it’s pretty dark in my office. The beer has a great flavor and after taste. I think the spices are just right. Not to over powering. A very good Christmas Ale in my books. Even better is I got the six pack on sell considering it is March now.

Mar 5, 2009 Dark brown coloured body with strong ruby tints on the edge and a decent sized tan head. Aroma of malt, cardboard, alcohol and a light amount of hops. Light-bodied; Mild malty flavour with some very very very light spices and some short hops. Aftertaste shows nothing much, just water and cardboard. Overall, a very mild beer not having much character - especially for this style and this seasonal! Avoid this one if possible, unless you truly must have every seasonal available to you. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Joe’s Place in Norman, Oklahoma on 13 January 2007.

Mar 4, 2009 Decent beer with a poor aftertaste. Has plenty of hoppy elements in it. Nice if you like that sort of thing.
JJClark (532), Roscoe, Illinois, USA
Mar 1, 2009 Bottle: Pours a nice mahogany color with a small off white head. Aroma of spices, malts, alcohol and roasted nuts. Taste of dried fruit, light hops and roasted nuts. Has a slight sweet finish. Not bad at all.
