Apr 7, 2002 2000. One of the best and most memorable beers I’ve tasted. My favorite at the 2001 GABF. It’s very hoppy and has a nice, but not overwhelming kick to the palate. The balance of hops and malt makes it warm and inviting, but its kick makes it impossible to drink complacently. You notice it, with pleasure, as you sip. I only wish there were a way to get my hands on it out east . . .

does not count  Dec 9, 2006 A Solid Strong, Hoppy, Spicey Ale. This beer rocks! Its just spiced up, no fruity stuff. I look forward to this beer every year. Its Christmas in a bottle. If you’re an uptight beer critic... you may not be able to handle it.

Dec 10, 2007 22 oz bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. Upon the pouring of this ale, I noticed an immediate aroma of spices and minor notes of hops. The flavor follows along the same lines as the aroma with a delicious serving of spices and hint of nutmeg backed by a moderate serving of hops. Even the appearance was attractive with a delicate fluffy layer of foam for a head paired with a orange color of liquid. I really liked this Christmas offering from Hoppy Brewing and I plan on picking up more around the holidays.

Mar 5, 2007 OOOh a very very nice winter brew. Very full of spices and full body. Appearance is very nice and brown with a cloudy texture. Has a thin lacey head. Mouthfeel is smooth with a little aftertaste but not bad.

Oct 14, 2005 GABF: I liked this one even if it was a bit strange. Poured clear light orange/yellow. Spicy aroma with some nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger maybe. Full beige head. Strange mix of hops and all that spice but it works for me.
