Feb 16, 2009 copper pour with small off white head.
I know this brewer is known for it’s euro style malty beers, but this one is more than a little off balance. bitter finish.

Feb 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear copper with a medium-sized white head that fades to lace. Weak aroma of gingerbread, roasted nuts, malt, potpourri and light ginger. Grainy malt character in the flavor with a bit of sweet toffee and caramel. Christmas spices are nearly absent in the flavor. Finishes dry and fairly weak. Pretty one-dimensional, but I think the average rating is a bit low.

Feb 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a brown reminiscent of a light brandy. Medium eggshell white head. Burnt nut aroma, spice, and malt. Flavor follows the nose, but certainly not the good parts. Flavor is burnt, and slightly acrid. Ended up drain pouring most of it.

Feb 4, 2009 Draft and bottled. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Malty up front, caramel and some sweet sugars prevail. Fruity esters and lightly spiced with cinnamon. Fruity esters, no warming. Could have gone for a higher abv here.

Jan 20, 2009 Tasted 1/1/09. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a ruby amber hue. Lacing off-white head. Malty aromas with a dash of cinnamon. Light to medium bodied with a spicy note and a decent dose of hops. Noticeable spice character, but one dimensional. Sticky finish. Doughy malts and citrus hops. Touch thin, but tasty.

Jan 18, 2009 Chestnut orange huge, modest head and lacing. Restrained nose of caramel and fruitcake, with a touch of orange rind. There seems to be something herbal or floral in there too. Balanced and somewhat Britishy, somewhere in the vicinity of an ESB, with an herbal hop and light caramel fruity malts. Lightish finish. A little too fizzy. To say its boring and uninspired might be a bit harsh but not far off the mark.
