Dec 8, 2008 2008/09 bottle. Pours copper with creamy white head. Caramel in the nose and across the palate. Nice and malty, super drinkable, not a lot of alcohol noticed. Solid beer.
scooterbub (332), Lander, Wyoming, USA
Dec 7, 2008 550 ml bottle. Pours a nice dark gold with a decent white head that fades. Aroma and Taste are of caramel, malt, yeast, fruit and some hops. Is rather sweet and has a nice bitterness to it. Easy to drink, even after it warms and the aftertaste leaves me wanting more. A nice seasonal brew that is enjoyable to drink and is a nice way to kickstart the winter months.

Dec 6, 2008 55 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange to amber with a huge creamy, tan and slowly diminishing head - leaving a nice lacing on the glass - clearly a 5er. Roasted caramel malty with a light breadish note. Light yeasty too. Flavour is breadish and mild metallic with a lasting yeasty impression. Mild bitterness in an otherwise smooth finish.
espenra (277), Oslo, Norway
Dec 5, 2008 55cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. It poured a slightly pale orange colour with a big
white foamy head that settled down slowly in the glass. It has a faint aroma that
smells of malts, nuts and caramel with hints of syrup. It has a sweet nutty flavour
that not suprisingly tastes of nuts, hops, caramel. It has a lingering aftertaste.
A very nice ale to welcome the winter.
TheEpeeist (1429), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA
Dec 5, 2008 12 oz bottle. Clear copper with a thin white head. Nose is faint caramel and clove but not much there. Almost medium with a tingle. Taste is raisin, caramel, pine and orange but a bit watery. Dry finish with a touch of cough syrup.
thechandler (268), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA
Dec 4, 2008 Pours a copper color. Aroma is slightly hoppy, modestly nutty. Flavor has good balance and overall flavor. Decent roasty maltiness. Good hop background. Nice bitterness to balance the malty sweetness. Good stuff.
