Dark brown in colour with small white head. Sweet spicy aroma a bit like "Old Spice" tasted like it as well. Was quite woody/surupy. Question. Am I supose to to heat it up like muled wine? Very different and would certainly remind you of Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere.

Dark red, almost purple, with a thick tan head. Very subtle scent of cinnamon. Cinnamon seems to be the dominate flavor in this beer as well, although other spices swirl in the background. I enjoy this beer, but its just a bit too mellow. Needs a slightly more intense flavor.

UPDATED: NOV 7, 2005 Mahogany color with purple highlights, decent head. Big spicy gingerbready aromas. Flavors of ginger, cinammon, sassafrass? Nice hop touch after the spice. Not a fan of spiced beers, generally, but this is OK.

Rich reddish brown with a small head. Smells like a dentists office and cinnamon. Taste is spicy with pepper and cinnamon, grape and cinnamon and sour orange peel and cinnamon. Its zippy and interesting but way too much cinnamon. Did I mention this tastes like cinnamon?

Bottle. Deep copper brown in color with a little tan head. Allspicey and tangy aroma. Allspicey clove flavor. Too spicey. Tangy finish. Interesting.
