Dec 25, 2005 Reddish brown ale with a spicey pruney aroma, with light pears and lavender. Alcoholic malt with light orange peels. Tangy mouthfeel, with strong alcohol warmth. Medium bodied. A bit unbalanced. Enjoyed at YEHa!05 Christmas Party on Dec. 17th, 2005.

Dec 20, 2005 Cloudy brown pour with a ring of offwhite lace. Aroma of lavender, pears and spices. The flavor is very good and has the same notes of lavender, pears and spices. The palate is light and powdery and the carbonation is moderate. Very good and enjoyable.

Dec 18, 2005 From 12/10/05 Indy gathering. Full dark brown with redish bronze tones and a little head. Aromas and flavors are both very similar so I elect to mention them both in the same breath. Slightly sweet and a little bit nutty. Some fruity, tangy and nutty in finish.

Dec 12, 2005 Bottle. Mahogney brown color with a tan head. Flavor is thin, spicey malt taste with an acidic finish. Medium mouthfeel. Different to say the least. Not too bad I guess. Notes were getting bad at this point.

Dec 11, 2005 Very upfront yeastiness with a sweet sour nose. Very spritzy mouthfeel. Sour and sweet mixing it up again in the flavor...with notes of caramel malt and sour yeast and some understated holiday spiciness.

Dec 11, 2005 Light brown with a tan head, this had a slightly sour, spicy yeasty aroma with a touch of light fruits. Light and highly carbonated in the mouth, it’s got a spiced up, sweet malt taste, yeast, with sour grapes. The finish was bitter and sour. Interesting concept for a Christmas ale. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eve & Winter Beer Tasting at Delilah’s, Chicago, IL 12/10/2005<font size=-1>

Nov 28, 2005 Deep red with sediment in suspension. Nose of gooseberry, yeast and light vineous fruit. Lively tan head. Some cereal, oatmeal and rye. A little grape more grape in the flavour. Berries. Finishes like a belgian golden ale with the malts being a little chewier. Thanks Ralph.
