Jan 12, 2004 A deep red beer with a beutiful beige head. The aroma is dominated by spruce. The flavor is sweet with notes of spruce and ginger. The flavors really brings back memories of Christmas - but they are rather weird to have in a beer. I think this beer is more special than it is good, but definatly worth a try. I expected more.

spices tend to be stronger on draft and overpower malt character, cinamon comes through stronger, mmlt starts to show up again at the end

slightly sweet chocolate malt aroma, still a very nice spice character well blended with rich chocolate malt, the best mix of mellowed spices with the malt of a 98-05 lineup

Dec 1, 2003 Tawny color; creamy, beige head. Strong aroma: malt, roasted malt, caramel, phenol, liquorice, raisins... Dry mouthfeel, with some of the same components, but lighter and not surprising as the aroma; ending with a coffee note as well.
