Dec 22, 2006 2006/2007 edition. Pours dark copper/amber with thick, off white head. Aroma is more spicy than anything else. Flavour is spicy also but well rounded overall. Some hops in the finish too though I found it a tad watery. A pretty good holiday beer.

Dec 20, 2006 Bottle. Not what I was expecting or, for that matter, wanting. Upon crakcing the cap I was struck with an odor of skunk. Unfortunately, with this brew you have to really work on defining the characteristics becasue the skunk overpowers the good characteristics. Pass. Sammy bombs again.

Dec 20, 2006 550 mL bottle. Chestnut brown with medium head, which doesn’t last. Most prominent aroma is that of brown sugar, with an underlying touch of green apple. Taste is dominated by the brown sugar sweetness as well, but hops do make themselves known in the finish. Thick, gritty mouthfeel. Lightly carbonated. Too sweet for regular consumption, but nice for an evening sip.

Dec 20, 2006 Very fitting for the winter months. Poured from a bottle; nice head and aroma. All around a sweet beer that pleases to the end of your glass. Keeps you nice and warm too.
