Beer I look forward to every year. Cinnamon and spice flavor always warming during the winter.

Bottle. Pours a copper brownish color. Leaves a white head, some lacing on the side of the glass. Aroma is spices, cinnamon, and malts. Flavor is vanilla, malts and some hops. Well balanced beer.

Bottle. Pours a surprisingly dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is spicy and slightly malty. Flavor is a delicious blend of hops, malt, and spices. Tastes somewhat like a spiced pale ale. Very good.

Pours a copper-brown color with a thin white head and low carbonation. Aroma is a bit nutty with some sweet apple and caramel malt tones. Flavor starts off with a combo of apple and a med roasted malt, moves into a caramel sweetness, slight spice in there and finishes slightly dry. Overall a good staple beer for the winter months.

Northfield, MA. Dark brown colour with quick-receding tan head. Sweet and malty nose. Quite prickly with little flavour at first part of sip. Warms up, with some malt, toffee and brown sugar in the finish. Smooth. Nicely done.

Medium amber body. Aroma of subtle cinnamon and maple. Brown sugar, vanilla, oak, and spices combine for a smooth, appropriately bitter, malty finish. For the money, availability, and value, I buy it almost weekly (in season).

Super beer for the winter, or anytime you want a good beer. This one mixes spices and toffee perfectly. It pours a medium brown with a medium head. It smells good, looks good, and tastes great. The finish is as good as the start. Highly recommended.
