Dec 17, 2008 Updated: Jan 5, 2009Bottle. Dark brown color. Malty, just a bit sharp aroma. Malty, caramelly, alcoholic flavor with hints of cinnamon. Lacks balance, because of the strong alcoholic character.
The tap version shows more balance. Cinnamon, butter and a hint of chocolate in the aroma. Dark chocolate and roast in the flavor, with cinnamon. Caramel and raspberry. Hint of diacetyl (7 3 6 2 13 = 3.1)

Dec 8, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt notes of cookie, roasted and milk chocolate, orange for the hops, light leather for the yeast, with hints of raisin, red wine, alcohol and an indiscernible spice. Head is average sized, fizzy, off-white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy dark copper. Flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic to start, then finishes lightly sweet and bitter. Palate is medium, watery but a little sticky and has a fizzy carbonation. A beer well suited for the holidays, rich, deep and fruity.
