Dec 23, 2002 The beer pours a mystical purplish red color, the head gigantic, frothy to the max; the left over lace sticky thick sheets to conceal the glass. The aroma of ripe plums, malt, light hints of fusel alcohol, sweet and quite appealing. Ambrosial at the start, the top middling in mouth feel, the finish bitingly acidic, the hops poke through as the beer warms a bit, the aftertaste dry and lingering. The 10% ABV makes itself felt as it is quite a “Winter Warmer”, and also quite a quaffable brew. Ranks #533 on my current 1000 beer master list.

Nov 12, 2005 Bottle. Dark copper color with a big beige head. Rich roasted malt aroma with a bit of alcohol and slightly sour. Sweet malt, chocolate, spice, touch of tartness, woodiness all combining in the flavor. Nottable alcohol. Not as straight forward and clean as many of their other beers, but still good.

May 17, 2005 Hazy brown body with a sudsy, beige head. Substantial phenolics with an interesting blend of spices and caramel maltiness. Light solvents are also detectable in the aroma. Medium sweet with lots of dark sugar and malt and a note of cocoa. Decent holiday beer.

Dec 27, 2009 Amber so dark it almost brown. Thin head. Gingerbread, sour dark malt, hops, and thick spices make up the aroma. Dark malt gingerbread and hop flavour with a lot of spices singing in the finish and aftertaste choruses. spice notes include ginger and pepper. Alcohol takes its time come up.
