Dec 17, 2008 Bottle shared by emacgee. Thanks Ethan. Pours a slightly translucent brown amber with no head. Nose of grains and crappy BMC. Flavor is heavy BMC and metal. This is bad.

Dec 16, 2008 Like the Bridgeport version of this style, but with even less malt and with even less body. A forgettable Christmas ale.

Dec 15, 2008 tap at Trappeze in Athens.
Pours a ruby - amber with off white head.
Aroma is malty, dark fruits - cherries and prunes - and caramel.
Taste sweet spices, dark fruits and a really smooth mouthfeel giving it a toffee - malty with notes of chocolate.
Spices remain in the background with light notes of cinnamon. Finish had a somewhat red wine mouthfeel.

Dec 14, 2008 Bottle - Poured a nice brown color with a very small white head that all but disappeared. Aroma is malty and sweet with hints of dark fruit and some spices. Flavor is malty with spices and fairly strong of dark fruit... prunes, figs, etc... along with some hoppiness. Finish is slightly bitter with a medicinal aftertaste. A bit thin and more carbonated than the head foretold. Alcohol not apparent.

Dec 13, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear brown with a small, beige head that dissipates quickly and remains lightly laced. Semi sweet aroma of caramel malts. Light amount of spices, lightly toasted grains, vanilla, chocolate, and figs. Taste is similar, but a little more vanilla than chocolate. Malty and dull spices. Slightly roasty, nutty, and bitter. Medium bodied and creamy. Overall, not bad, but it just didnt stand out to me.
