Feb 6, 2009 22 oz. bottle courtesy of agl108. My bottle says 8.5% ABV. A hazy amber pour with tons of little floaties and a big and fluffy sandy head. BIG aroma features plenty of resiny pine, grapefruits, rich caramel, and roasty malts. Some cherries and rye in the background too. Goes down fairly thick and medium to full-bodied. Lots of caramel, malts, and some hints of rye upfront. Finishes with some bitter, drying grapefruitiness. Warming alcohol at the end. Heavy spiciness throughout. God bless that agl108!

Feb 5, 2009 this great imperial red ale pours a an inch tan head. Its aroma is fantastic musky and sweet at the same time. A great winter ale makes you want to curl up next to a fire. Warm in your mouth this beer has a hoppy opening with a winter-spice aftertaste

Jan 28, 2009 Pours cloudy golden amber with a big fluffy head that stays around for an eternity. possibly the prettiest head ever. crazy. nose is basement musk, with a solid doss of pine resins, citrus, and malty breadyness. taste is very similiar, reminds me of my dads batch 8. it is definitely a glorious beer.

Jan 24, 2009 quite an enjoyable and highly appropriate brew for the holidays and for that matter the winter. full of flavor and balanced yet strong enough to take away the winter chills, or at least make them tolerable. described by the brewer in the best of terms and highly desireable to hop heads and christmas brew lovers everywhere. just great!
