Tastes like all the different kinds of Xmas cookies smashed up and jammed into a bottle of Porter !! FRIGGEN DELICIOUS

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
