Dec 2, 2006 There is a lot going on in this beer. Its a nice compliment to their summer solstice. Had it from draft, and had a very prominent aroma of spices, cinammon, caramel, etc.

Dec 1, 2006 A nice "something different" beer. Reddish brown in color with a delicious tan head. There is more going on in this beer than a TV Drama. Hints of cherry,vanilla and carmel in the beginning with a slightly spicy finish. Interesting, but like an average movie..once was enough.

Dec 1, 2006 Brown amber, aroma is almost port-ish. Pretty strong sweet vanilla, a little malt, "winter-ish" spices that I can’t get a handle on. Pretty odd beer, not exactly your classic comforting Christmas brew but I’ll be getting it again.

Nov 28, 2006 Pours a fairly dark amber color with a thin off-white head. Interesting aroma has notes of cinnamon and a touch of vanilla. Dark fruit notes along with more vanilla and a dusting of allspice. This is about as good as these spiced winter beers get. I could easily enjoy 3-4 of these in a social setting.

Nov 25, 2006 bottle. Brown in color with a small off white head. Caramel, grains, and vanilla in the aroma, with about the same in the taste, lightly nutty. Didn’t get much in the way of spices.

Nov 22, 2006 Ok, so my note-taking on flavor, color, etc suffered the night I tried this. I did numerically score as I went, but scoring 20 beer samples in a night clouds the old flavor memory! This finished a bit below average among the Winter beers that night. As someone in the group said - "It’s Cream Soda!" (It’s that vanilla taste that others mentioned here)

Nov 21, 2006 From bottle, 2006 brew, very vanilla/syruppy/raisinny. Didn’t love this beer but I don’t generally love veggie beers.

Nov 20, 2006 Amber brown body with small off-white head. Texture is nice and creamy, but aroma and flavor are quite mild. Smells and tastes like vanillas and bubble gum... mainly just sweet and not very complex. Pretty average.
