Sep 26, 2003 Updated: May 5, 2008Came in a wine sized bottled for 8 bucks. Not too bad a price. It was foamy slightly sweet and spicey. A little blsck pepper nose. It had a nice alchoal bite an no bittterness. What a fine brew and Celis does it again!

does not count  Dec 13, 2007 I had this beer once and thought it was the best. I had it at Eulogy in Philadelphia. It’s a great beer to have in the winter with a bowl of mussells. Get busy living or get busy dying.

Jul 17, 2005 On draft at of all places Cafe Amsterdam, Anchorage, Alaska. Dark black with a monster rocky head. Big nutmeg aroma and rich spicy flavors, wood chips, nutmeg and maybe a sprig of cinammon. Awesome.

Sep 16, 2007 Pours a dark, clear ruby with a nice tan head. Nose is sugary sweet and yeasty with a pungent tone to it overall. Flavor is smooth, woody and sweet. Low yeast flavor, but an underlying sweet tone that hits the tip of your tongue and never comes on strong at all. Wood-like aftertaste. Feel is a perfect balance of carbonation and use of ingredients. Overall a damn good brew. Even and well balanced and one I would constantly go back to time and time again.

Jul 16, 2003 Updated: Nov 30, 2003Re-sampled November 25, 2003 [a bottle expired May 2000 - in a vertical tasting to one expirering July 2005]: What a great difference cellaring can do. When the bottle was opened it rose out of the bottle - even after so many years - there was no lack of carbonation. The color dark brown so you almost couldn't see thru it (a lot darker than the fresh one) and with a small brown disappearing head. The aroma a lot more powerful than in the fresh version and fantastic of cloves and spices. The flavor is great and it explodes in the mouth with spices, cloves, and wood. All in all a heavenly beer experience. A good advice - keep this in Your cellar.
Sampled July 16, 2003: [7/2/8/4/16] The aroma is powerful, sweet, and fruity with notes of plums. The color is an unclear dark brown, it has an OK but disappearing head. The texture is very soft, and the flavor is rich on fruit, it prickles the tongue and contains hints of alcohol, plums, caramel, coriander, and a little earth. A very nice beer.
