Dec 14, 2009 Pours a clear copper, with a smallish, sudsy lace - a fairly nondescript, but thankfully, inoffensive beer - nothing particularly bad, nothing particularly good - lightly estery, with equal parts bisquity and sweet malts - some warming spiciness and moderate alcohol - a bit of cherry and caramel - light bodied and thin for its strength, exposing a bit more of the alcohol than I would like - boring, but drinkable.

Dec 11, 2009 2008 On tap @ 1702 - Pours a clear brown color with a small off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is mainly spice. Flavor is toasted malt and spice. Medium body. A nice X-mas beer since it’s not too spicey.

Dec 6, 2009 The 2009 version is fairly mild. Not a lot of bright flavors to it. The aroma is also pretty muted. Could use some punch. Especially if it is being drunk in Colorado.

Dec 3, 2009 Draft at Nicholson’s in Cincinnati. Pours a clear amber with red tints and a tiny off-white head. Aroma of sweet malts, caramel, spices, brown sugar, cherries, nuts. The flavor leans a lot more toward the cherries- very sweet, with notes of brown sugar, sweet malts, toned down winter spices, red apple, and caramel. Light bodied for a Christmas ale, and far sweeter than spicier.
