Bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of carmel, spice and a hint of fruittiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of burnt carmel, light spice and a hint of dark fruit with a smooth dry moderatly bitter finish.

Enjoyed on tap. Creamy, drinkable. Slightly spicy with malt taste. Not bad, would definitely order again.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Jim and Justin. Pours amber with red hues. A rocky off white head, about an inch thick , dissipates slowly with good lacing. Malty nose, a touch of chocolate malt and spice. Malty taste, caramel with wheat undertones. A touch of spice. Not terribly bad, but not all that stand out. Drinkability is pretty high, though.

Nice amber color, good spice in the background, a little thin in texture. Better than most Sam Adams beers.

bottle and tap. for some reason I like it more from the bottle. this is an amber brown color with a lot of head that lasts the whole beer. there is a bitterness to this beer that I’m not quite sold on but it’s not bad. A good winter beer for sure.

[924-20071206] Tap @ Meg O’Malleys. Grainy aroma hints at allspice. Clear, dark orange brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Grainy malt flavour has a bit of toasted boozy yeast. Medium body. Good to try.

12oz bottle from Clarendon Wines in Boston. Pours a clear dark gold with decent head and nice lacing. Aroma is all malt. The flavour is pretty nice - and not all malt as I was fearing. It’s well rounded with a decent amount of fruitiness. Spices do not stand out, but perhaps they contribute to what I’m tasting. I’m pretty happy with this one.
