Jan 1, 2003 I like some spiced beers--depends on the balance. Didn’t like this at all. Hint of licorice that I really disliked.

Jan 1, 2003 A nice dark brown/amber with a tan head. A bit of nice chew in a medium body, distinct fennel aroma! some mild clove support, significant hops felt all the way through and if this beer tips the scales in either direction it’s the bitter. It’s very well balanced. Very nice.

Jan 1, 2003 Dark cherry color. Creamy tan head. Can you say SPICES? Nutmeg, piney and more. Spices, spices. A very Christmas-y beer. Malty behind the spices. Complex

Jan 1, 2003 1.5L bottle: Smells like everything Christmas in my house during December...a nice thick, solid head and lots of aroma. Bitterness and hop profile works well against the spices. Sweet aftertaste to finish. A good, balanced brew.

Dec 30, 2002 A very good brew. Has a nice bite but not to strong. Very enjoyable all the way right to the bottom of the glass.

Dec 30, 2002 Dark, copper color. Dark, tan head. Strong, but not overpowering spice to the nose. One of the better seasonal oferings. Taste stays with you, but that is a good thing!

Dec 30, 2002 They aren’t kidding when they talk about how spicy this gig is... Somewhat misleading dark brown pour, nice tan head, nutmeg and cloves right up front. Extremely rich - mom even liked it!
