Unlike the other reviewers, I did not enjoy this beer -- maybe it doesn’t keep that well. Strong nutmeg aroma. Sweet malty and mild, and some of the nutmeg comes through in the flavor. There’s a big initial head that dissolves quickly. Given the beer’s color, once the head goes down, it looks more like a cola than a beer.

Bottle... Crystal clear, dark amber ale with lots of floaties. Small, fizzy, off-white head. Malty, floral, piney aroma. Great malt backbone with notes of toffee and spice. A touch too sweet, but not cloyingly so. Full-bodied, rich and velvety with fizzy carbonation. Medium length, astringent finish.

Appears thin from the pour. Quickly diminishing head. Amber brown color. Nutmeg and malt dominate the flavors. A bit thin and undimentional. A bit to picayune for the style.

Reddish brown hue with a average off-white head and fair lace. The aroma hinted of roasted chocolate malts, caramel, apple, orange zest, clove, ginger, grassy hops, and dusty yeast esters. The taste starts sweet (like candy) and develops a citric undertone. The good amount of spices are noticeable upon the finish with a touch of bitterness. Lively and medium-bodied, minor alcohol presence while drinking. A well made winter brew, too bad it's not being made anymore for I would have liked to try this again.

This brew poured a small head of light brown colored fine to large sized bubbles that left behind a fair lacing and a carbonated transparent brown colored body. Its aroma was of caramel malt and alcohol while its mouthfeel was smooth with a slight tingle in its finish. Its flavors of caramel, though mild, malt and a bit of swwetness was nice even if a tad one dimensional. I was very suprised to find that this was a spice/herb/vegetable brew. I thought it more like a dunkel.
