Dec 16, 2007 22oz. brown bomber served in a Duvel tulip. Poured a pretty clear ruby red.
Medium bubbled low white head. Pumpkin pie spices in the aroma.
Cinnamon, clove, allspice. Spices predominated the flavor as well.
Rich and full bodied, big malt base with a long chocolatey malt finish.
I don’t think I could drink a whole lot of this, a bomber was plenty.
If you like spiced holiday beers, this would be right up your alley.

Dec 13, 2007 Found this one bottled (22 oz.) at Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Hazy, dark brown pour with a thick, foamy off white head. A bit of citrus, ginger and nutmeg in the nose, but dominated by bready maltiness. Spiciness continues into the taste. Considerable alcohol and sweetness, bitterness is low but present with a bit of orange rind and lots of ginger. Strong but clean finish. This is very good.

Dec 12, 2007 [Bottle] Pours light brown with a big light head. Beer is completely dominated by spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.), which is alright in the aroma, but the taste takes on a bitterness from it that is really quite unappealing. I really did not care much for this.

Dec 11, 2007 22 oz bomber purchased at Spirits RB. Pours a cler yet increadiblly deep dark reddish brown or perhaps brownish red with a large light beige head. Initial aroma of chocolate and cinnamon. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavor pretty much in line with the aroma, chocolate and cinnamon. Although this beer isn’t overspiced I’m finding out that I’m not a big fan of the chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg combo that alot of the winter seasonals seem to be doing. At 8.6% at least I should be able to catch a buzz and mellow out while I try to string the damn Chrsitmas lights inside the tree.

Dec 10, 2007 THOUGHTS: Very pleasing aroma. Nicely warming as it went down. Probably good on a cold, snowy night. Guess I’ll have to get another bottle. You cna actually hear the head carcklins as it goes down a litle right after the pour. To me he spice overpowered the noey a little. It also reminded me of some spiced cookie christmas ornaments my borther made when he was in kindergarten.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, dark reddish amber with incredible carbonation and a small to average, off white head that mostly lasted and left good lacing. The aroma was honey, ginger, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon. The initial flavor was lighlty sweet, while the finish was moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic and bitter and sour with a short to average finish. It tasted a little like apple cider. There was honey and the spices I mentioned in the aroma along with maybe some raisons. The deium to full body was syrupy and a little dry with fizzy carbonation and a light to moderate alcoholic finish.

Dec 10, 2007 Bottle-Memphis. Delicious caramel and chocolate flavor with a grainy nose. Strong nutmeg kicks up at the tail end.

Dec 9, 2007 Updated: Dec 25, 2007Bottle, A very zesty and spice aroma, orange peel and cinnamon are prevalent. Reminds me of christmas, nice aroma. Pours a dark brown/red color with a nice lasting brown head. Nice sweet taste pretty good with a great amount of spices. Very christmas like I like it. But could not finish the bottle just too much spice.
