Jan 13, 2010 Most difficult cork to remove ever. The aroma is the best part - sweet and spicy. The appearance is more amber, but I was expecting ruby red. The flavor starts out delicious with the cloves and nutmeg, but then falls flat and turns into a lot of bubbles and carbonation.

Jan 12, 2010 Poured from a 22oz bottle it was a dark brown color with a tan frothy head. Right from the start you can smell the nutmeg and cloves. The taste was mostly clove and nutmeg with notes of cinnamon. It had a sweetness to it also. I could also taste the alcohol, in the finish. Overall I enjoyed it I would sit and have a couple more. I enjoyed this beer with a BLT with smoked bacon on french bread.

Dec 13, 2009 Draft. Pours lighter, murky brown with a thin, tan head. Aroma of spices; cinnamon, pumpkin, clove, and pepper, as well as roasted malts and yeast. Medium bodied with a nice little warming in the finish. Good seasonal ale.
