Nov 28, 2008 Tap at Capone’s. Pours out a dark/cloudy brown with a small lacing off white head. Aroma is of cherries, spice and some other sweet notes. Taste is complex with a nice balance of flavor. Fig, raisin, cherries and some other sweet notes mix together and finish off with a slightly bitter/alcoholic finish. Once again, well done.

Nov 28, 2008 Poured a muddy opaque brown color with a finger’s worth of off white head. Aroma was malt and dark fruit, maybe a little cherry? Flavor was more of the same. Very malty, and almost a touch of something sharp. Nice beer.

Nov 27, 2008 Dark brown color and a nice lofty cream head. Aroma is thick and bready, hits of gentle spice and plum notes. Flavor is chewy with the malt, and a hint of cinnamon and brown sugar. Palate is pretty smooth, nothing overly exciting, but very drinkable. The bitterness hits right after the initial flavoring, so its easy on the senses all the way around.

Nov 27, 2008 Draft. Pours chocolate brown with a thin beige head. The aroma is dark fruits and spices, and has an almost whiskey-like sweetness to it. The body is very smooth and the flavor touches on raisin and plum sweetness, before yielding to toasty, spicy, and earthy notes. Very nice.

Nov 27, 2008 Tasting at Brewtopia and a tap pour at Brother Tuckers. Reddish Amber pour. Tan head. Aroma is sweet and spicy with some notes of caramel and wood. Taste is of dark dried fruits, caramel, candy sugar and it finishes with a tiny twinge of tartness. Very nice holiday brew. This one would be great in cold weather!

Nov 27, 2008 bottle - Pours dark amber with a huge, fluffy tan head. It smells of caramel malt, holiday spices, and some yeast. It tastes of malt, dark fruit, and spice. The finish is on the dry side with spreading alcohol warmth and lingering spices that really fit the cold months and the holiday season. Very nice.

Nov 26, 2008 On tap at Redlight. Slightly cloudy ruddy brown color with a small circle of soapy white head. Sweet Belgian malts and caramel aroma with spices and mild yeasty notes. Sweet taste, alcohol apparent but not overwhleming, nice spicy component and mild tartness at the end. Nice winter brew.
