Nov 19, 2008 Lots of caramel and sweet. An amber with sweetness. Some vanilla. I don’t know about the label given it here. Tastes like a winter warmer to me. Nice all around.

Nov 19, 2008 This beer is just way too damn sweet for me, kind of made me feel nauseous from the first sip. Interesting brew, but not for me.

Oct 31, 2008 2007 Edition. Pours from the bottle a muddy copper/orange color with almost no head. Very heavy aroma of fruit (apple/cherry) and spice(cinnamon) with lesser hints of molasses and some light malt. Strong alcohol flavor hits first followed by a very nice fruitiness with lots of cinnamon and some lesser vanilla and a slight bourbon flavor. Slight sediment in the bottom and the beer has very large, medium speed carbonation. Good beer but it definitely feels like more alcohol is present than the 6.9% listed on the bottle.

Oct 28, 2008 Bomber, at least a year maybe 2 years old. Pours orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet with fruiuty spice notes. Taste is sweet and fruity with with a variety of spicyness. This is much better than I expected. It seems age has really sweetned this up and made it better at least according zathrus.

Oct 26, 2008 2008, bottle. Pours copper/amber, with an off white head. Aroma is fruit, cinnamon, and malt. Flavor is fruit, spices, malt, and some vanilla. Body’s a little thin, and it would certainly rate higher with me if it were heavier and maybe a bit sweeter.

Oct 25, 2008 2008 Bottle - Pours amber with a small off-white head...aroma is very festive, spicy, fruity and sweet...I’ll be the first to admit, Summer Solstice was shit (in my opinion)..the idea and taste of cream ale in the summer was stomach turning...Winter Solstace just works, it’s light but has great alcohol, creamy but with a bite, original finish - like a nilla wafer...can only drink one because it’s pretty rich, but a nice surprise...

Oct 14, 2008 Pours a warm plum color from the bomber with a creamy tan head. Smells and tastes of sweet Mexican sugar, cream, cinnamon, and red wine. A cross between a barleywine and a German gluhwein -- festive and highly drinkable.
