Pours dark brown in color with little head. Taste is spicy, what I would expect from a winter ale. Slightly bitter, lot of caramel and cinnamon. It’s a decent beer just not something I would usually drink.

2008 bottle compliments of my good buddy Andrew - thanks! Pours a deep brown/red with a tan head. Aroma is subdued, but the hops and spices are apparent. The taste is bitter, but not unpleasant for a winter brew. The malts are complimented by notes of cinnamon and the citrus hop flavor. Easy to drink and left me wanting more.

2008 edition. Pours a rich mahogony from the bottle with a tan/yellow head -- much like a scottish ale. Smells of hops, cherry, and cinnamon with creamy malts, caramel, and additional hops in the flavor. Warm with alcohol and prime for holiday drinking.

2008 batch. Dark brown with red highlights. Two finger long-lasting tan head and fair amount of lacings. Piney-citrus aroma. Orange grapefruit hops, plenty of roasted malts makes this a smooth winter ale. Slight alcohol taste evident. From a 12 ounce bottle. Handsome label art.

Courtesy of ibrew2or3. ’07 bottle. Pours cloudy brown, with brownish/beige head. Aroma has this nice wintery feel to it. Cherry, malty caramel. Taste malty, hoppy, fruit notes and caramel. Very sweet, warm, medium carb, filled with some nice flavors.
