Pours a dark, mahogany brown with a moderate, tan head. Nose is bubble gum and banana. Flavor is slightly roasted flavors and a slight sweetness, with perhaps a touch of banana and hops notable on the finish. A nice beer that is very drinkable but not spectacular.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A good ale. Lots of malt and caramel, and a good hop kick as well. Aroma is pretty standard ale aroma, I was expecting a little more festive aroma from this one. Palate is basic strong ale, lots of lingering malts, a slightly creamy mouthfeel, and a long hop finish. A very enjoyable beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12oz bottle. Rating #668. Great looking beer, I love these dark ruby red colors of some of these winter beers. Nice looking head, kind of chocolate milk like, but on the lighter side. Rich caramel and light spice aroma, almost a little toast as well. Dark rich light roasted flavor with a faint hint of spice. Real tasty beer. (1991)

not really my style of beer, but this one is really good. porter-like smell. big interesting palate and taste. Nice bitter finish. Clean. I had this with some indian food and it was a very rich and rewarding experience. I had one of their Hop Trip pale ales earlier and this one is much more impressive.
Nice Job.

Bottle. Dark ruby pour with tan head and good lacing. Aroma is brown sugar, dark fruits, spice, and some hops. Quite bitter, lots of hoppy bitterness, but ultimately this is caramel and other malty flavors. Sticky, medium (if not slightly thin) body. A great winter beer.

one of the best "holiday" beers I’ve had...great reddish color, with a slightly malty taste...
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampled at an esbls tasting. From Shep. Clear and dark brown. A nice light tan head. I smell brown sugar but it is not big. A big malt start has rye and bitter hops. Chocolate and coffee. This was tasty and interesting.
