Dec 17, 2009 (draught at flying saucer on the lake) pours clear reddish orange with little to no head. Nose of toasted cane sugar and dried fruits. Taste of alcohol, smoke, roasted malts and nuts. A little undercarbonated but a good beer.

Dec 14, 2009 750 MP cork and caged bottle. Pours a deep amber brown with a smaller foamy beige head. Aroma was fruity, dates, candi sugar, dates, yeast. Flavor of sugar and fruit, raisin, dates and brown bread. Pretty good stuff but this one will kick your ass with such a well hidden ABV.

Dec 13, 2009 On Tap in Ann Arbor, This is a very spicy and sweet beer. I though that the sugar content was a little too high and it had a syrupy palate. The aroma and look of the beer was great. There are big notes of the seasonal spices, but I think it would have been better a little more subtle flavor and sweetness. Bold.

Dec 12, 2009 Aroma of roasted toffee, molasses, biscuit and caramel. Appearance was caramel colored, translucent body with creamy head. Flavor matched the nose, with some kettle corn and peanut brittle flavors as well. Palate was lively and bubbly. Tasty!

Dec 11, 2009 Poured from bottle bought @ Utobeer. Poured into a goblet ESB glass. Forgot to use my Delirium glass. Oh well. I notice no head. Very redish texture. A dark red beer from Delirium. This is for their winter market. You can feel the warmth of the alcohol intently. It does not disguise itself.
An odd aroma is sickly sweet, caramel, spisces and anisceed. I can also detect a strong sherry-like presance. There is a delicate whiff of perfume and oak. The balance is fine and a slighty sparkling sensation. I can taste herbal spices, cherry, caramel malts and an aged oak finish. A good beer for the winter nigths.

Dec 8, 2009 Not hugely impressed by this. Indelicately sweet. Mega malt on the nose and stuffy tropical fruit in the mouth. Not Christmassy at all.
