Picked this up with several other winter warmers singles at Half Time Beer Store in Poughkeepsie.
I drank it and was spiced out. Peculiar taste with lots of spices and that is about it.
I drank the whole things, so it was no terrible. On the other hand it was not really very beer like. I would not buy one again.
I won’t break it down into detail, other than to say try it if your curious but that would be the only reason. daknole (2896), Plantation, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 19, 2009 Clear brown pour. Spices galore! Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove...wow. Smells like potpourri. Flavor is very spicy with light hops mixed in...dominated by pumpkin pie spices. One of the most spiced tasting beers I have ever tried. thebusstop (15), New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 14, 2009 What a fun beer, especially to drink so early in the season. Gave me a glimpse of the holidays that would soon be upon us. Favorite thing about this beer: the sweet, full flavor with a very distinct and authentic taste and smell of nutmeg and cinnamon. Not an especially sophisticated beer, but, hey, it put a smile on my face at the first sip! ALCOHOLNIZM (61), WARWICK, USA
