Jan 25, 2009 12oz bottle from sry23 on BA, thanks Scott. Hazy medium brown color with a white head. Slightly sweet spicyness too it. Not alot of flavor to me, pretty easy to drink, slight butter flavor. Eh.

Jan 23, 2009 Attractive ruby and brown pour with an almost two-finger tall off-white head. The aroma was lots of malt with an almost generic addition of "winter warmer" spices. The flavor is roasted malt, clove, cinnamon, light hops and some tart fruitiness. The mouthfeel was very dry (as the spiced ales tend to be).

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