Dec 18, 2004 The aroma is very ’holiday spice": nutmeg, cinnamon etc. It’s clear brown with a nicely done spicy flavor. The alcohol is well hidden. This is a very enjoyable spiced beer.

Dec 12, 2004 Aroma is heavy spices like nutmeg and orange with some light alcohol. Beer pours dark copper with a rapidly diminishing off white head. Flavor is very spicy somewhat akin to my mother’s pumpkin bread, but with honey. Very interesting enjoyable beer. No hint of the high ABV.

Dec 7, 2004 Bottle pours burnt caramel, strong red hues, large sudsy white head, fairly sticky lacing, with light carbonation. Spicy aroma, cinnamon and nutmeg, but subtle compared to the fresh pine and orange peel. WOW! While it smells extremely spicy, it’s not overly done. Very well balanced, Orange peel and a whole lot of Cinnamon. Enjoyable body, medium mouthfeel. Finishes... you guessed it, quite spicy. Long finish, lingering spices and Orange peel. The 9.5% ABV is undetectable, making this a true Winter Warmer. Well crafted, well rounded, a true Holiday concoction! Thanks goes out to MrFacto for the trade!

Dec 5, 2004 dark amber-orange hues with a dash of tan head.Nose is very aromatic,seasonal spices like pumpkin pie and spiced apples.Too bad the flavor isn’t quite as good as the aroma.the orange and spices come out but the brew looses itself somewhere.

Nov 26, 2004 Nice rich brown with thick white head. Nose of clove, cinnanmon, and malt. Heavey mouthfeel with sweet mid palate and drying spicey finish. Flavors of malt, clove, orange spice, cinnamon, malt and honey like vanilla. Not bad though almost overdone.

Nov 23, 2004 The body is a very dark red with a thin white head. Teh aroma is nutmeg and pumpkin that are very earthy and floral. the tastes are pleasant with oranges, flowers and a little cognac. There is a little too much carbonation. A very pleasant seasonal warmer. Thanks MrFacto for dropping this pleasant surprise on me.
