Nov 21, 2009 Pours translucent copper color with a nice light beige head. For the style the aroma is pretty faint, toasty malt with some cinnamon. The flavors are more pronounced, strong cinnamon over the malt/bread base. Medium body, not a standout holiday ale but not bad for the price.

Aug 26, 2009 Updated: Sep 2, 2009Clear and glassy. Deep cherry red. Rose-white head starts strong in a snifter, takes about 5 minutes to melt into a thin film. Medium carbonation. Clear but rich.
The smell is like cola, cinnamon and black licorice. Grape and bitter cherry. It’s complex and quite good.
The taste is lots of spicy cinnamon. Subdued sweet malts. Some sweet toffee and cola flavors. Could use a more bready malt balance. Nutmeg and hazelnut with warmth.
The feel is syrupy and oily smooth; buttery. This beer -- overall -- is a solid, sweet ale. Lots of cinnamon and nutmeg. A nice little winter ale.
Better than the original version (the one called "JW Dundee’s Special Edition")
