Nov 1, 2007 Big offwhite head shrinks slowly. Amber body with ongoing carbonation. Soft, syrupy, caramelly aroma with notes of dried fruit. Very harmonic, but not very strong. Sweetish papery caramelly taste with vague fruity, hoppy, metallic notes. Clean, sharpish palate. Somewhat thin-bodied. Dry nutty metallic aftertaste. Good, but much lighter than expected, and not really a great beer. (0.55l bottle ordered from the Wine Monopoly.)

Oct 31, 2007 From 550 mL bottle- poured transparent dark amber color, some carbonation noticeable, slowly bubbling away head. Aroma of caramel, malt, and fruit. Hits the mouth with a bit of sweetness, some malt, medium body, finish a little bitter. Not bad for a seasonal.

Oct 30, 2007 Sweet. Very strong taste of caramel. Almost candy like. A bit too sweet for me,though. Not a winter I’ve returned to since that first tasting....but I might if it hits our shelves this year.

Oct 28, 2007 500ml bottle @ Cardinal. Nut brown body with a small beige head. Aroma is fruity, caramel malt and dry fruit. Flavor is a balanced mix of what to find in the aroma. Harmonious malty sweetness, distinct bitterness and warming alcohol. Nice.

Oct 26, 2007 (Bottled) Clear, darkish amber with a small, but lasting head. Fruity, sweetish-toffee-malty aroma with slight graininess and some hops. Grainy-malty, sweetish flavor with fruity strawberry, and a warming, but not disturbing alcohol feel. Medium-bodied, soft-carbonated palate. A quite nice winter warmer with lots of fresh fruit. Nothing that special flavorwise, though.
