Jan 21, 2009 Pours mahogany with a white head. Smells of tea, raisins, earthy. Tastes earthy and rosey with a mild peppery finish.

Jan 20, 2009 Not what I would consider for a Christmas brew, but nice nonetheless. Pours a dark copper colour with a small off white head. Aroma is a little dull, but noticeable ginger, oak and grass on the nose. Taste is rich and full, finishes slightly off and has a taste that is a litle alcohol-y.

Jan 19, 2009 Decent winter ale. On the sweet side with a slightly spicy finish. Very drinkable.

Jan 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy copper with beige head. The aroma is caramel malt, graham crackers, toast, and some tea and spicy hops. The flavor is herbal with some toasted malts, odd roasted sourness. The finish is clean and slightly sweet. Ambient green wood taste starts to develop after a few sips. Meh.

Jan 19, 2009 Sweet, caramel, winter warmer. Well balanced. Not heavily spiced. On draught at the brewery. Nice overall.

Jan 19, 2009 A definite favorite for the holiday season, great balance with spices, orange and caramel...compares well with Anchor Christmas Ale.

Jan 17, 2009 The bottle looks a bit complex, the beer in the glass is okay. Hoppy and fruity-sweet aroma. Starts modest dry, notes of clove. The finish is a bit weak, modest dry in the background. Too boring!
