AMN (96), Dublin, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 3, 2008 I was very pleased with this beer. The head got nice retention. The cinnamon and other spices were strong but did not ruin the beer.
KimJohansen (3026), Copenhagen V, Denmark 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. SilkTork (3860), Rochester, Kent, England 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. Imaena (221), Portland, Maine, USA Jun 30, 2008 Growler from Brizz 08’.
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. estoppel (1014), Buffalo, New York, USA Jun 4, 2008 Bottle. Nose assaults you with spices, clear amber body, small white head. Generally spicy flavors, nt much in the malt/hops department. Slight astringent bitterness. dkachur (723), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA May 23, 2008 Bottle from cdumler, who says this is awful and practically begged me to take one of his last two bottles. Pours reddish brown with a small head that disappears quickly. Aroma smells like a spice rack and not much else. Taste is a little less harsh, but still has strong cinnamon and nutmeg notes. A little watery.
