Jan 7, 2006 From Bottle
poured Amber, with hufe fluffy white head that I had to let settle. Aroma of slight fruitness. Flavor of caramel, malts and spice. Nutmeg maybe. Creamy, velvety mouthfeel. Smooth and easy to drink. Didn’t pick up any hops intil it warmed then the hops were present in the taste, not overpowering though.

Jan 5, 2006 Draft, Baja Bean, Staunton VA. Ruby-brown color with offwhite head. Little nose, mostly light sweet caramel malt and a twinge of earthy hops. Medium bodied with flavors of medium caramel/toffee malt and a subtle but present hop accent in the finish. A fine drinkin’ beer, but not what I’d hoped for in a winter seasonal.

Dec 24, 2005 Paid $1.65 for a 12-oz single at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville, VA. Pours dark amber/mahogany with a 1" tanish head. Smells bready, slightly sour, and slightly malty. Flavor is malty, has a tiny bit of dark fruits and maybe orange, with a hint of smoke... and finishes rather peppery. Slight, very light, caramel in the spicy finish as well. Not a bad brew at all, just doesn’t overly excite me.

A chestnut body, edges glow of amber, and a fluffy tan head. The aroma radiates with fruitcake, the sweet soft chewy moist bready-ness, the fruity suggestions of plum, pear, apple, fig and dates; loads of toffee, a tiny hint of smoke and ginger, brown sugar, maple syrup, a mild hint of hazelnut. The texture is velvety; it coats the mouth and almost bonds the lips with its stick remains. There is a nice roasty and generously hopped finish… some citrus zest, followed by notes of cigar and chocolate… A nice session winter warmer, indeed.
