My waitress told me this is brewed with ’cinnamon, nutmeg and something else’. Hazy and a deep iatnge going red is as best as I can do in the lighting here. Ok white cap - another nice pour. A sneak taste revealed that this is not disgusting - just the opposite. Soft aromas of nutmeg, lots of honey, caramel, light spice, maybe cinnamon, nice soothing aroma without a stupid load of strong spices. Decent taste and standard for a Xmas spiced beer but thankfully less powerful. Toasty malts, numeg, cinnamon, a bit of sweetness. Drinkable seasonal brew.

Pint on tap at Oliver Square location in Edmonton. Poured a golden color with small white head and spotted lacing. Aromas of some fruit and cinnamon with a hint of ginger. Taste is of some fruit with maltiness and winter spices and a dry finish. A fine Christmas ale which is slightly different than most. Very much enjoyed.

Was told it was a Christmas Belgian Ale. 6%. Dark tea-amber with light lasting head. Light but very nice ginger cookie and spice scent. Flavour is similar with a light Belgian edge,; dark malt and warm spice.
