beerthirty22 (3), Georgia, USA does not count Nov 9, 2009 Tastes like all the different kinds of Xmas cookies smashed up and jammed into a bottle of Porter !! FRIGGEN DELICIOUS SuIIy (1406), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear nutty brown color with a small off white head. Nose is caramel malts with a light cinnamon note. Palate is a little fizzy and clean. FLavors of light cinnamon and nutmeg with light hints of chocolate and some caramel. deyholla (506), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a medium brown with a strong red hue. Aroma is full of ginger, cinnamon and burnt caramel notes. Flavor has a strong malt profile with hints of cinnamon, ginger and chocolate. moose85uofa (15), Alabama, USA Nov 2, 2009 I really, really enjoyed this beer. Rich hints, of cinnamon and nutmeg. Has a nice "holiday" bite on the palate, but very smooth going down. I would very much like to find this on tap during the holiday season! jlruthven (134), Milledgeville, Georgia, USA Nov 1, 2009 Can’t believe I haven’t rated this yet. Pours a ruddy red-brown with decent, soapy white head. Nose is cinnamon, cloves, bitter chocolate hints. Tastes heavily of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, with light undertones of toffee and dark chocolate. Not mind-blowing, but absolutely nothing wrong with this beer. Two come in each Winter Classics pack, so share one with a friend! halfonit (422), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Nov 1, 2009 Has a dark golden color. Aroma is of malts, cinnamon, spices, and a little bit of honey. Taste is of sweeter malts, brown sugar, a little cinnamon, and some floral hops. Aftertaste has a sweeter tone. Not too bad at all. vacantskies (79), Spokane, Washington, USA Oct 29, 2009 This beer is very clear with a rich amber hue. It has a sweet whiskey flavor with a medium-strong aftertaste. It also has orange flavors. Floback (333), Naples, Florida, USA Oct 29, 2009 From the Sam Adams winter pack. Pours a large inch-high off-white head over a dark amber body. Aroma includes toast, wheat, and some subtle spices. Flavors are similar: more toast, very subtle caramel, subtle bourbon, and a coppery aftertaste. Medium carbonation & medium body. A decent brew; no where near as complex as a beer should be with these ingredients.
