Dec 4, 2005 Good dark colour level, nice foam and lace. Powerful carbonation. Ginger-nutmeg nose. Coca-cola taste with spices. Lots of carmel, dry spices and bitterness and malt. Great change of pace. Very drinkable, and drying aftertaste assures that. Did I tell you how this reminds me of Coca-Cola?

Nov 29, 2005 Bottle, at The Rover.
Brown with a large light brown head, mostly diminishing, good lacings. Aroma heavy malty (spicy, orange, clove and fir) and moderate hoppy. Flavor moderate to heavy sweet, moderate bitter, long duration, very well balanced. Light to medium body, oily, soft carbonated. Definitely a Christmas Ale to celebrate.

Nov 26, 2005 Appealing dark, brownish-red in color, lingering porter-like head: dense and creamy. Nose pushing prunes, taste ending in licorice notes. Smooth, drinkable, nice. Cellaring did it some good.

Nov 23, 2005 Pours dark brown with a decent off white head. Smells soapy. with some soy sauce, coffee, and espresso notes. Taste is reminiscent of an espresso with orange peel and anisette. Some average spicey and pepper notes are there, but otherwise, this has faded into a bland tasting coffee like stout.

Nov 14, 2005 2004 Christmas Ale - 12 oz. bottle. Poured a deep brown with a a very pleasant spicey aroma. Creamy off-white head. I was a little disppointed with the flavor. Initial flavor of spice, particularly nutmeg and ginger, but sort of an odd aftertaste that lingered.
