Nov 30, 2007 Deep copper going toward ruby/brown with frothy 2-finger off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, nutmeg, toffee, nuts, mild cabernet, like a spicy ESB. Tastes caramel malty, with spice, dry noble hops, soke cabernet notes. This one comes across like a spiced nut brown or ESB ale, with more noble hops and spices.

Nov 29, 2007 Hoppy nose. Red color, white head. Overtly bitter. One dimensional caramel/bitter flavor that doesn’t last. Some pine in the finish means it’s Christmas.

Nov 27, 2007 Bottle. Mild nose, some piney hops with a bit of citrus. Dark red, thick but clear with a thin white head. Strong bitterness, good balance but no depth. No notable "winter" flavors, maybe a touch of spice in the finish. Good palate, slightly thick but crisp and refreshing.

Nov 22, 2007 Updated: Dec 13, 200712 oz. bottle. Fresh fruity aroma, poured a golden brown color. Flavor was bold and kind of cidery and the palate was average. Not a bad choice at all and definitely beats a lot of other bland winter ales you normally find.
