They call it a "winter" beer so you’ll keep drinking it after Christmas. Thinner and plainer than most Christmas ales, although I did like the cinnamon aroma.

Cloudy, amber hue, with a big fluffy beige head, sweet toasty malt, cookie dough nose, with a toffeeish, caramel accent, with a nutmeg spicy accent, and a light fruity aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, toasty malt character, with some caramel, toffee flavors, and with some mild fruity dried raisiny, figgy, date notes, and a hint of nutmeg spiciness, leading towards a malty, caramelized finish.

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Headbanger (2072) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - SEP 26, 2008
11.2 oz bottle from Knightly Spirits (Orlando, FL)-Pours a hazy orangish amber with a nice tight off white head. Aroma of sourness, malt, and caramel. Taste of the same with a bit of spices and fruit. This medium bodied brew is a bit thin for a Winter. Was expecting a lot more flavor and body. Very basic.

Bottle. Pours a nice amber that rests below an off-white head. Aroma is spicy raisin/grape with a touch of red wine. Flavor is malty spice with touches of sugar, oaked red wine, and melon. Average mouthfeel. Very approachable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 lithy (2914) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 30, 2008
Dangerous cork missile resulted in lots of overflowing foam from the bottle. Spicy orange brown color with a pillowy cream colored head. Doesn’t lacy, pulls down at the sides leaving a billowy mountain in the middle. Spicy winteriness, lots of bubbling carbonation. Orange and citrus also present. A nice maltiness with strong spices, coriander and orange rind sting with the carbonation to a mildly warming alcohol finish. A little simple, but a great winter warmer.
