Poured from 12 oz bottle into a nonic pint. Appearance: Brown, clear, bourbon look. Three finger head that is light cream in color and persistant. Very attractive-looking brew. Smell: Cinnamon and nutmeg totally dominate the fragrance. There is also a hint of brandy in the nose. I like the smell of cinnamon, so this is good to me. Taste: You can really taste the cinnamon in this brew. It’s quite a mellow quaff with little hops and more malt. Finishes off with a slight port wine flavor. Mouthfeel: Smooth and medium. Somewhat watery. I’d like something more chewy in a winter warmer. Drinkability: A slightly above average beer that I could see drinking again on a winter evening with a late dessert. Comments: I would definitely class this as a beer that goes well with dessert. It would perfectly compliment a large, hot cinnamon roll or a slice of homemade apple pie or maybe even some gingersnaps.

Bottled. An amber beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, brown cookies, and cardemomme. THe flavor is sweet with notes of malt and spices - especially cardemomme, leading to a dry spicy finish. The body is light.

I had this at a keg party. It poured a cinnamon brown with some fizzy white head. Aroma of malt, bread, and cinnamon. Similar flavor profile: a blend of malt, cinnamon, raisins, and bread. Thin body with a subtle lingering sweetness. A bit excessive on the seat.

It has a pleasing herb aroma from the nutmeg and spice from the cinnamon with a sweet background. It looks ruby red malty brown. There are subtle flavors from all over that combine into a sweet spicy holiday ale.

This is a solid brew. From the winter 12pack I knew Id enjoy the amicalbe hop presence that subsides with each sip. Pours a ruby read and shows a clear avenue towards a beer drinkers delight, I enjoy the endulgence. It is winter you know. Enjoy by the fire.
