Oct 15, 2009 12 oz. bottle - pours clear dark brown with white head along the edges; sharp nose of spice, ginger, cloves and maybe juniper; malty, dry and tons of spice flavors; interesting and maybe a tad too much spice; not quite as enjoyable as the stone/nogne one; certainly not boring though as many holiday ales tend to be

pours dark brown with beige head.
Aroma is just wonderfully loaded with spices; ginger and cinnamon. Just felt like sniffing a pine tree.
Flavor, spices are as in aroma, very present, mostly ginger and cinnamon. Malt is also to be noted adding a ncie chocolate profile to the beer with hitns of cocoa nibs. Medium carbonation, and seems to be more than the announce d6.5%.
Interesting festive beer for sure.

Oct 7, 2009 Bottle… Pours a murky dark brown. The aroma is straight-up ginger snaps. Full-bodied and ultra creamy with soft carbonation. Spicy and sweet with lots of ginger and holiday spice. Sugary, but kept from becoming cloying by moderate bitterness. Finishes modestly spicy and mildly bitter. Bottle courtesy of GoT!

Oct 4, 2009 Pretty good holiday ale. Lots of spices but lacks the sweetness that would make it undrinkable. Easy drinking for a holiday brew. I like it. Lots of Ginger snap in there.

Oct 4, 2009 Courtesy GoT. Brown. Small tan head. Earthy, winter, evergreen spices and soft malt. Too spice heavy for my taste, but very drinkable for what it is. Medium body, balanced.

Bottle: The aroma is loaded with spice...clove, ginger, cinnamon, and light chocolate. It pours a dark brown with some orange highlights and a small off-white head. The flavor is just like the aroma with lots of clove and ginger. There is some light chocolate in the background and some faint cinnamon in the finish. Medium bodied with mild carbonation.
