Feb 3, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown with white head. Very similar to other winters I have had, though a little weaker in strenght and taste. I would consider it a winter light beer.

Jan 25, 2009 Dark brown with nice off-white head. Malty nose. Rich and malty, full bodied. Still surprised it’s only 4.5% given the fullness of this brew. On tap at Dive 96 in NYC

Dec 27, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of pepper and malty tones, earthiness, nuts, brown sugar. Flavor the same, never noteworthy in any area, nor in their combination. Medium bodied. Nothing exciting here.

Dec 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear brown with a very small ring of tan head. Aroma of general spices (peppery?) and sweet malt. Flavor of an amber ale with spiced caramel malt. Definite spicy/peppery notes. Spicy burn in the finish. This is an ok beer, but nothing I would seek out again. More like a S/H/V than an amber ale. Decent.

Dec 14, 2008 [bottle - 12 oz] Amber color with a soapy tan head and decent lacing. Aroma is malty with some spices including gingerbread, cinnamon, and some brown sugar. Taste begins sweet with some sugar and dark malts but then goes to a slightly hoppy middle and a lightly spiced finish. Warms on the way down.

Dec 4, 2008 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Dark amber brown with lasting ring and some lace. Spice and brown sugar aroma. Brown sugar, dark fruit, and spice with medium bitter lingering finish. Medium body, slight carbo bite. Typical for a nondescript Winter ale.

Nov 29, 2008 on tap at the brewery in patchogue. Pours a hazy dark brown color. Aroma was less prominent than I expected- some spices, some malt. Taste was kind of bitter but well balanced. Hihnts of doughyness toward the end of the drink. Palate was average. Not a bad option when its cold outside but there are much better winter ales available.

Nov 29, 2008 Aroma of malts and subtle dark fruits... Dark Copper with a thin quickly fading head and minimal lacing... Initial malty sweetness followed by a bit of bittering hops... Medium to Thin bodied... Finishes a bit dry... Ok, nothing to write home about...
