Dec 2, 2005 Served on tap. Cloudy dark amber color with a thin tan head. Aroma had raisin, caramel, rum, cinnamon, nutmeg, apple cider and other spices. Taste was laid back for the strength with a good rum and apple cider finish. A solid holiday beer that I would have again.

Roses (first time I’ve ever smelled that in a beer!), honey and oranges in aroma. Very nice and christmasy. First taste is very sweet, then the honey comes through. Upons swallow the alcohol content is quite powerful. A bit of caramel is present in the vineous aftertaste. A bit one dimensional after the initial impressive aroma. Leaves a sweet residue on your lips. Needs another year in the cellar. Good thing I have a few more bottles :-)
