Clear, deep copper/amber. Thin head and some lace. Pleasant nose of cinnamon, nutmeg and orange. Reminicent of pumpkin pie. Medium bodied, flavors of cola, nutmeg, some sweet orange flavors. Pretty tasty, they didnt go overkill with the spices. To me would go nice after a big meal.

Reminds me a lot of pumpkin pie because fo the nutmeg and cinnamon spices. Very similar to post road pumpkin ale. Very nice winter seasonal.

A bigtime spicy beer, reminiscent of some of the pumpkin beers I’ve been tasting this time of year. The cinnamon and nutmeg really stand out and make me think I could go for a glass of eggnog right about now. A solid winter brew.

One of my favorite beers and so far my favorite spiced beers. I had it on tap for the first time years ago in Virginia. It is not yet distributed here in California so everytime I visit my in-laws in Delaware for Christmas I drive over an hour into PA to get some - it’s worth it!

a pumpkin-like flavor makes a good first impression. the sweetness tends to get bothersome after a while.

A little on the spicy side, but not to the point of unpalatable

I don’t usually like winter beers, but this one wasn’t bad at all. A bit too nutmeg in the aroma, and too much cinnamon in the taste. A little thin and overcarbonated. No fruitness, which makes me happy, and nice and light on the hops.

Nice deep color, the spices were very apparent, tasted a lot of cinnamon among other spices. A little too fruity for my liking, but I guess that’s what you have to expect in a winter brew, but an overall good beer.
