My palate and spice/nutmeg infused brews just don’t get along....Harpoon’s Winter Warmer has a very nutmeg nose initially, actually the spice disappears as the beer hits the back of your throat. Ok, but not to my palate.

Aug 9, 2008 Clear dark amber with large white head. Loads of cardarmum in the aroma and flavor. Christmas in a bottle..., but a bad christmas.

Jul 3, 2008 355ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Gosh this is crap. It’s a flavoured ale of some dire sort. There’s no character or life in the beer, so they dump in some flavouring which just serves to make a bad beer worse. Very chemical. Very medicinal. I thought the flavour was cloves, but the flavouring is supposed to be nutmeg and cinnamon! As if! This beer has to be drunk to be experienced - it tastes old and stale and flat and nasty. It’s cheap, rubbish crap. No marks for this.

Pours an off copper brown and reeks spicy nonsense. Its mulled beer really. NOt so impressed with this guy. I’m not a bigt nutmeg brew guy though.
