Commercial Description:
The chill of a Colorado high-country winter calls for a beer with extra flavor and strength. Here it is. At over 7% alcohol, with a sturdy texture and rich flavors of caramel and chocolate, our holiday seasonal is the fermented equivalent of a good fire.
The ultimate winter warmer.
Available: November-December

Six pack. There were some nice cocoa and caramel flavors, and it left me a little warm lie it should, but the aftertaste was a killer.

Had this on tap at an Old Chicago for some sort of Christmas mini-tour. Wasn’t impressed - wasn’t terrible.

I was mixing up a sixer and figured why not give this a chance? Nice, dark, malty beer with a noticeable alcohol kick. This was actually at the bottom of my winter warmer list. This beer was just average. I will still give Breckenridge the benefit of the doubt in the future. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 11-26-2007 04:06:13

Brownish color with a thin tan head. Hops and spice with a hint of malt. Not much to talk about. Somewhat bland

Dark amber pour, medium head, nice lace. Yeasty sweet aroma. Thick with a bitter piny finish. Very light taste until it has been swallowed. A little flat, all around a disappointing and undistiguished beer.

Picked up at Warehouse Beverage, Cleveland. Pours dark colour, virtually no head. Aroma is a touch of roast, and that’s it. Taste is spot-on coca-cola,with spices added such as ginger and allspice. OK, but not so drinkable tonight after so many good spicey meals.Above average carbonation, and mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours a brown body with a tan head. Caramel and some lightly roasted malt. Sweet with a nutty accent and some light alcohol in the finish.
