Clear dark copper color with a diminished beige head. Clean aroma as in a bar sanitizer scent. Some hints of spice and apple. Thin near spritzy liquid. Flavors of pumpkin and pumpernickel, little bit of spice. Dry nearly acrid finish and linger. Not much festivity in this one for me.

Amber red in color with an off white head. Smells like winter brew spices and tastes crisp with a touch of allspice and orange. Good brew.

Bottle. Pours red amber with an off white head. The aroma has spices and some fruity esters. The flavor has nutmeg, other spices, grain, and a light apple like fruitiness. Not bad.

Poured amber/copper/orange in color with a small, off-white head that disappeared. Clear. Sparkling. No lacing. Flavor is lightly bitter. Tastes of malt, spices, nutmeg, light cinnamon, slight sugar, allspice, slight coffee, light tobacco, slight clove, and slight roasting. Medium body. Dry texture. Average carbonation. Spiced, malty finish is lightly bitter and dry.

I bought it for my brother-in-law, whose now-deceased dog was named Dundee. I do like winter/festive ales, although this wasn’t that remarkable. It is mostly a bock-like rush of caramel with moderate sweetness, and a middling sense of spice, finishing quick and not particular much to reflect on. Not bad, just not a keeper.

Bottle. Pour is a reddish brown with a one finger tan head. Aromas of roasted nuts, spice and toffee malt. Following first sip, I’d say this is the best Dundee beer I’ve had. Flavor is thick malt (nuts and toffee) with a nice touch of spices and a little bit of hops bitterness to bring it home.
