Pours a slightly hazy deep ruby with an average size lasting foamy off-white head. Very nice aroma of sweet malt, spices, some brown sugar, yeast and fruit too. Flavour, also nice, is malty, spicy and yeasty along with a bit of alcohol and a pleasant spicy / bitter finish. Alcohol for the most part is well hidden. Medium bodied. Fantastic stuff! jerc (3885), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Deep red-brown, large fluffy tan lasting head. Lovely sweet caramel malt, yeast and winter spices, lightly floral. Taste - same; floral/herbal, lush, yeasty, sweet but not aggressively so, just balanced and smooth. Soft, dry, smooth mouthfeel, lightly astringent from the spice, long sweet finish. Terrific. joohefner (380), Isla Vista, California, USA
