Jan 19, 2010 Bottle, thanks to piscator34 for sharing. Pours medium brown, soft off-white head. Nose is spruce, juniper, dark fruit, some candy aromas emerge as the beer warms. Palate is well-balanced, if slightly thin, very nice cinnamon flavor, along with berries, more candy, red licorice, orange peel, and spruce/juniper. Tasty.

Jan 17, 2010 Bottled sample consumed with Savvy1982. Pale orange in cilour with modearate carbonation. Fairly muted aromas of ginger, orange, and pale malts. Far more expressive in the mouth, with elements of spruce cinnamon, orange peel, and old school aftershave / male grooming products. Quite light bodied for a winter seasonal, but increased drinkability is the tradeoff here. Surprisingly good.

Jan 2, 2010 650 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a clear cark orange/brown with decent-sized tan head. Lots of cinnamon in the nose with some caramel and citrus. Flavour is also predominantly cinnamon with some ginger and light citrus. Don’t remember the cinnamon being so overwhelming in past years versions. Still alright, but remember it being better.

Dec 27, 2009 Bottle. Clear amber with a medium foamy off white head showing below average retention. Aroma is orange, cinnamon, honey, malt and spices. Flavor is ginger, cinnamon, oranges, malt and spices. Too much spices for the body and strenght of the beer.

Dec 25, 2009 75 cl bottle. Pours a nice deep brown with a small short lived head. The aroma is all cinnamon, the taste was ginger and cinnamon. The hops were there but could not tell what they were. A tasty beer for the season, but not something i would drink more than one of.

Dec 18, 2009 Pours a mahogany brown with thin shortly lived white head. The aroma is cinnamon, cinnamon, cinna-buns, and cinnamon. .... . maybe a little bit of citrus, ginger, and orange in there too. The flavour is a pretty straight forward reflection of the aroma, tons of cinnamon, more cinnamon than I have ever tasted in a beer.........I like cinnamon, so this beer works for me. A little citrus mixed with cinnamon in the finish. A little too fizzy on the tongue, not super complex, but interesting and drinkable.
