Nov 8, 2007 Updated: Nov 13, 2007Tried from bottle. Candied malt on the nose, with grapefruit hops and a small hint of mint. The palate translates the nose with a bubble gum-cotton candy malt sweetness, and vanilla. A nice creamy winter seasonal with balance.

Nov 1, 2007 10/24/07 From the bottle. Aroma is a low cascade hop flora forward followed by sweet malt. Appearance is light copper with a good off-white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward, candilike, with a good lightly sour malt note, and light hop resin. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a low carb feel and light creaminess. Overall, and interesting brew, but some might be bothered by the resiny flavor.

Oct 29, 2007 Pours a reddish brown with off-white head. Aroma of raisin, caramel, spice, and vanilla. Flavors of dark fruit, raisin, vanilla, and winter spice. Pretty good for a spice beer. Mouthfeel is a bit thin.

Sep 16, 2007 Had on 12/10/2004. Aroma is very faint but seems a bit sweet. Color is a hazy burnt orange with light carbonation and a thin head. Taste is light and clean. Starting with a light to medium body it goes down with a crisp fizzy feel. The finish comes on with a mild sweet taste that finishes off clean with a warm feel. Not a bad beer but not much of a Winter Ale. I do not understand how this won a gold medal.
