Dec 7, 2008 I was left rather unimpressed by this, although it was at the end of a long night. Minimal head, little in the way of the promised spices. Solid, altough nothing special

Dec 6, 2008 Pours to a dark amber with a decent sized head. Lots of malt and some winter-y, surprise, surprise, spices on the nose -- lots of nutmeg.
On the palate this one is smooth,with a lot of upfront sweetness and spicyness. I get a lot of dark, perhaps dried, fruits on the finish. Not a whole lot of hops to balance it out.
Not a bad beer.

Dec 6, 2008 Dark amber pour into off-white frothy head which quickly dissipates. Lively carbonated bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass fading into thin lacings. Aroma of toasted wheat bread, sweet malts and light spice. Initial flavor of malt that is balanced with light hops and dried fruits. I expected more of a warmer winter beer from their seasonal brew collection.

Dec 5, 2008 Pretty good. Some sweetness, some awesomeness, some bourbony maybe, too. Best Sam Adams seasonal around.

Dec 4, 2008 Clear amber with a light tan head. Light caramel sweet aroma. Medium body. Flavor is mild malty caramel with light spices. Easy drinking, if not very flavorful.

Dec 2, 2008 Updated: Dec 3, 200812-ounce bottle. Pours a caramel-brown with almost no head. Aroma is kind of bland, and is like a cheap lager. Flavor is good, solid, with honey and toffee in the forefront. The high carbonation works well on this brew and tingles on the tongue and roof of the mouth. Overall, good. A lot better than anticipated.
