Nice winter warmer. Has a spiced taste, good thick mouthfeel. Has a splendid roasty malty quality. Smooth brew. I vastly prefer Great Lakes Brewery’s Christmas Ale, but this is not bad. Very welcomed in my winter variety pack.

On tap at HSBC Arena. Pours dark brown with little head. A little flat. Mild aroma of malt, and similar taste. Dedent enough.

Draft at a Friday’s. Poured a clear amber. Aroma was malts and yeast with a tad bit of hops. It had notes of dark fruit, spice, and maybe caramel. The taste reminded me of a spiced Boston Lager. The finish had a small bitter bite to it.

Widely available, on tap and in bottle. A good, drinkable fall/winter beer, but would probably be difficult/undesirable to drink more than one at a time. I generally have one on tap near the start of Winter and that’s it. Not a favourite.

Reddish amber pour with a light brown head. Spiced apple yeasty aroma with a touch of chocolate and spices. Light to medium bodied. Taste is of spices, a touch of caramel and toffee and a hint of dark fruit (cherries?) with a woody bitter finish. A pleasant beer, just a bit dull.

Bottle. Pours an off white head that receded quickly and a caramel colored body. Notes of malts and caramel, and the taste was caramel, burnt malts, and almost a coffee flavor on the back end. Fizzy and bubbly mouhtfeel.
