Dec 31, 2007 Updated: Feb 13, 2009Poured from a bottle. Poured a deep brown color with ruby highlights and a thin light tan head. Aroma of chocolate, a hint of caramel, and some spice. Flavor begins with chocolate malt and some roastiness and then finishes with a tangy hint of spice, just like the commercial description says. A bit thin considering the style. A decent beer.

Dec 18, 2007 Twelve ounce bottle from Biggs. Sweet aroma with hints of licorice, spices and alcohol backbone (even though at 5.9% it isn’t THAT strong), dark ruby/brown color, minimal but lasting head with no appreciable lacing, light to medium body, light to medium bittersweet flavor with spicy notes, nice bittersweet finish.
This isn’t the biggest or boldest winter brew you can find but it’s pretty decent--I’ve paid more for some other winter season beers and gotten less.

Dec 18, 2007 I know I gave this beer a high rating but it is a beer I love. I will always be faithful to my local Summit. This beer pours surprisingly dark for winter ale. It is the color of a cup of light coffee..There is a good 1/2-1inch of head in a nice, rich tan color. The aroma is roasted malts but not overpowering a bit of spice and wood. Taste is clean of malts and nuts and chocolate mixed together. delicious. This is the kind of winter I like. Not overly carbonated nor over taken by hops.

Dec 17, 2007 This deep dark savory winter treat comes from my home town. I really like this year’s vintage and look forward to enjoying the season with it. Great winter beer.
