Apr 7, 2009 Pours dark red brown with a tan head. Aroma reminds me of eggnog with gingery nutmeg. Berry and spice taste with some toffee. Has a nice hop bitterness to finish as well. 2007 bottle thanks to Butters.

Apr 5, 2009 Sampled at the Impromptu Butter’s 5th cellar clearance. 2007 vintage. Near clear brown pour with red highlights. Aroma of eggnog! Cinnamin, gingerbread. Very interesting. One of the best spice beers i’ve had. And I’m not even a fan of the style.

Mar 26, 2009 Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass.
The color is a deep black with a tint of a dark red when held to the light. The head is a foamy reddish brown with so nice lacing leaving a film on the glass.
The smell is somewhat spicy with a little cinnamon. (I have a head cold)
The taste is malty and is bit bitter with some nice flavor of bread, some yeast feel, and a floral hops.
This beer is a bit of a mix of spicy hops and heavy bitterness. It has a nice mouth feel to it and it not too heavy and also pretty refreshing.

Mar 26, 2009 2007 bottle thanks to HogtownHarry- Pours deep brown with a half finger of mocha froth. Lots of spotty lace. Nose is minty,juniper, with cinnamon, cardamon, some brown sugar. Tastes fairly hoppy, some molasses, pine and mint, earthy malts, some gingerbread. Quite smooth on the palate, dry as well, with only a touch of sweetness. An interesting beer for sure. Thanks for the bottle Harry.

Mar 22, 2009 2008 botte. Pours a syrupy dark brown with little to no head. Really interesting aroma, it smells like a christmas trade show. Hot apple cider (cinnamon, apples), popouri, britch bark, some cedar, coffee. Palate is weird, at first taste. I guess weird is a bad word interesting would be a better word. Herbs, spices, a little apple, coffee and a little dark chocolate, that popouri comes through on the palate as well. Maybe a little tight and needs some age. Still really interesting.
