Feb 16, 2007 12 oz. bottle courtesy asteele8 pours a red mahogany with a durable creamy light tan head that leaves and excellent lace. There is a nice blend of pine and spice hop aromas with caramel, tooffee, and roasty grain. Medium carbonation and body combine nicely with a pleasant resinous quality giving this a nice mouthfeel. Good sweet/bitter balance enhances the aromas. This isn’t all spiced up like a lot of holiday seasonals, which is much more to my liking.

Nov 11, 2006 Updated: Nov 10, 2009Pours a deep garnet with clarity; wonderful head, moderately full, mostly lasting, creamy/pillowy, light tan, and some nice, soapy lacing. Nose is toffee, toasty almonds, hints of chocolate, and some pine hops and light roast notes in the back; rather pleasant. Flavor does not match the nose; toffee and almonds with some light dried fruit notes with plenty of piney/earthy hops and a medium-high bitterness. The bitterness lingers through the finish with the pine and leaves a long tingling on the tongue. Palate is medium bodied, moderate carbonation, and a creamy, dryish feel. Good winter warmer, but could improve with some aging. The malt richness is lacking a bit leading the hops to dominate more than I would like. Nothing spectacular, but well done beer for the cold months in Colorado.
