3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark copper bronze pour,clear with tiny bits of floating debrie.Half inch head, leaving a ring and small island froth fairly quickly.
Nose was a little metallic with spice-cinnamon like,clove, some malty carmel amber ,slight orange citrus.
Taste is a little similar to the pumpkin but,light-med body,clove,cinnamon,spice,some citrus-pine,sweet -a bit much,rich-sticky finish.I was kinda hoping this was a bit lover in abv-but it is a malty winter warmer I guess.A little too malty sweet.Kind of a strong clove taste to this,not too into that either.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours ruby brown with a one finger tan head that quickly dissipated. Nose is cloves, spice, potpourri and hops. Taste is cloves, orange, malt and hops. A pretty balanced Christmas ale that doesn't go overboard with the infusion of spice. Glad I tried it but would probably not drink more than one at a sitting.

Medium brown with one finger white head. Smells of cinnamon, nutmeg spice, vanilla. Light sweet taste with some different spices coming through, particularly the cinnamon and nutmeg with a little Belgian yeast kinda taste. A little spicy.

It poured a clear copper color with a small off-white head. The aroma was citrusy with hints of spices. The taste was sweet with citrusy hops in the creamy mouthfeel and finishes with some spiciness in the mild dry finish. Very good.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a lightly cloudy amber with about a finger of off-white head. Aroma of spice, clove, nutmeg and cinnamon. Taste is lightly sweet. Lots of cinnamon and spice. Medium bodied with a creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. Although, it would probably be better drank around Christmas time as opposed to an 80 degree day in Southern Illinois.
