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.

Nov 24, 2009 Clear dark red-amber with fair, creamy beige head / Sweet, floral, malt nose / Medium body, sweet and lightly syrupy, with some hopping on the good finish / Steely flavors of spun sugar and grass, with chocolate and floral notes / A style of beer which seems dull at first, but becomes more appealing upon reflection.

Nov 12, 2009 They say ther is caramel and chocolate, but i guess i missed that. Yes, it was a christmas ale with the expected pine, but other than that there wasnt anything impressive.

Nov 11, 2009 Nice dark amber with a ruby tint. Looks very good. Lost points for having virtually no head at all.
Nice, sweet malty nose. Caramel. Brown sugar notes. Slight hint of spices. Roasted nuts. Smells very seasonal/festive.
Roasty malt flavor. Slight hint of sweetness (not as much as expected, from the nose). Toasted nut flavors. Hint of spices (nutmeg/cinammon).
Feels abit light for the style. Still has a good body, though.
A pretty good winter warmer is what we have here.

Sep 19, 2009 Six pack. There were some nice cocoa and caramel flavors, and it left me a little warm lie it should, but the aftertaste was a killer.

Aug 19, 2009 Had this on tap at an Old Chicago for some sort of Christmas mini-tour. Wasn’t impressed - wasn’t terrible.

Aug 17, 2009 I was mixing up a sixer and figured why not give this a chance? Nice, dark, malty beer with a noticeable alcohol kick. This was actually at the bottom of my winter warmer list. This beer was just average. I will still give Breckenridge the benefit of the doubt in the future.
