Amber colour with small head. Taste was malty/ piney and a bit syruppy. Not bad, but was expecting more. PGA324 (85), Savage, Minnesota, USA Dec 1, 2006 Expected more form a Sam Smith. Poured from bottle, amber color not much head. Taste is unique... earthy/piney, but decent. Had a light crisp mouthfeel. Gachupines (290), USA Nov 28, 2006 Amber color with just a little head which fades pretty quickly. Taste is a little sweet and malty with a bit of spice in the mix. Overall, fairly decent and definitely drinkable but nothing outstanding. Would drink again, but I wouldn’t go looking for it. dyetube (397), Dallas, Texas, USA Nov 27, 2006 This beer pours a golden amber color with little to no head. very spicy smell and great taste! Just like it say’s it warms you up on the inside! The flavor takes me back to the time of "a christmas carol" I feel like I am sitting beside a candlelight reading a book on christmas eve back in the 1700’s! Not avery complex beer but a good beer nonetheless. Cheers! goldtwins (4079), Nesconset, New York, USA Nov 27, 2006 Vintage 2006:Poured a clear dark orange-amber color with a medium off-white head. The malty aroma was sweet and fruity. Notes of pears and some wintery spice was picked up. The flavor was of sweet and toasty malt with a fruity middle and spicey (not heat spice) finish. Medium bodied. jacobs55 (7), Spokane, Washington, USA does not count Nov 26, 2006 expensive! the taste is great, it sneaks up on you a little. we got the big bottles -(a case was $64) down 2 of these, you are off to the races. worth trying
