Creamy tan head, ruby colour Aroma of spices ginger cinnamon malt sweet. flavour is malty, sweet, caramel christmasy spices very smooth mouthfeel This is not a spectacular beer in that it is not aggressive in any way but looking att the beautiful lacing smelling the aroma of christmas and feeling its warming soft quality puts you in the christmas spirit like no other beer

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.

12-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.

Pours deep copper into a shaker. Off-white head recedes leaving spot lacing. Caramel and nut aromas. Slightly sour and flat.

Draft. Clear brown/orange-tinted pour with minimal off-white head. Spice is light, beer is malty and similar to their Oktoberfest, with a bit more spice and malty sweetness. Some slight orange peel, I think. Not very wheaty at all. Certainly not complex, but thoroughly drinkable and solid with food.
