Nothing really outstanding about but this brew but a nice drinking none the less. Drinks smooth with nice balanced flavor a little or no aftertaste. For the price, nice drinking beer.

Jan 26, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a thin off-white head. Light aroma of malt and spices. Taste of malt, spices, toast, and candied fruits. Lingering light malt. Pretty tasty.

Jan 22, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a tan head leaves a nice lacing... Sweet and a bit spicy aroma... Flavor is a bit non-descript with slightly roasted malts with a touch of spice in the finish... A bit bland and boring... Thinner finish than i would expect...

Jan 16, 2009 poured nice dark brown with a bit of mahogany of the sides, nice 2 finger head. Not too much smell to it, some hops in there. Much more flavor than smell. Decent brew mainly taste roasted malt, a little sweet, and the had has a pleasant bitter hop finish, but definitley not too bitter or i wouldn’t like it. I would get this again for sure, BUT there are too many other great winter brews that outshine this....but no doubt worthy.

Dec 31, 2008 12 oz bottle, 2008 edition. Clear chestnut brown with a thin beige head. Nose is nutty, a bit roasty, toffee. Caramel flavors, lightly bitter nuttiness, a tad roasty. Mildly bitter finish that somehow ends up a bit dry. Not too shabby.

Dec 28, 2008 Brownish color with a thin tan head. Hops and spice with a hint of malt. Not much to talk about. An average christmas ale.

Dec 28, 2008 Pours a brown dark malt color with a nice 2 finger tan head rising up . Easy to drink not the high alc slap of most Christmas brews. Nice malt balance and not over the top on anything . Not overly hopped or spiced just a nice balance. I am glad I got a 6pk very easy to sit down and drink 2-3 of these. Alc content is well hidden and undetectable . A little thin on the mouth feel but thats not a bad thing. Decent brew..
