Poured a deeper brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of lots of spices (ginger, cinamon, and a bunch of others), chocolate, and I was getting some berries in there too. The spices were definitely the strongest of the aromas. Tastes of the same spices, chocolate, and caramel. This one was all about the spices. hopscotch (5533), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

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! CaptainCougar (5527), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 23, 2005 2001 Vintage: Very dark brown color with a thin off-white head. Very heavily spiced aroma of musk, cinnamon, peppermint, and sweet caramel malt. Starts lightly caramely sweet with a nice cinnamon spice balance. Reminds me a lot of Anchor OSA. A nice winter ale. ¾ (5003), Colorado, USA

Poured hazy reddish brown color with an average fizzy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate to heavy complex nutmeg sweet aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy spicy balanced flavor with a medium sweet spicy finish of moderate to long duration.
This is good complex seasonal brew. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA
