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

Dark brown with a frothy beige head. Very malty with alcohol very apparent in the nose. Flavour is sweet, spicy with an acidic, warming finish.

Pours a thin almost clear light brown. Strong rye aroma with some cloves the peak a bit as it warms up along with some liquorish. Tangy spice flavor with some nuttyness, but then it dies down to merky water. Palate is thin, the beer is boring.

It definately reminded me of Christmas with its spicy notes. Too bad it’s seasonal.

12 oz. bottle pours a clear garnet hue with a nice white head. Smell is nutty sweet malts and alcohol. Medium bodied with a velvety smooth mouthfeel. Taste is a very nice nutty malt sweetness with a decent hop alcohol tang to finish. A nice brew to warm up with on a cold winters night. Dec 2004
