Pours a nice taupe head with a clear amber brown body. Rich malty aroma. Tastes almost like a lager up front. All up into the malts after that. A hoppy tang right around the late middle. Some caramel. Pretty easy going down. I just like this style though.

Dec 5, 2009 Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a red copper with a medium soapy white head and an aroma of light malts, dusty hops and some unripe fruits. The flavor is not too malty, but really nice and interesting. Some, but not too much, nice hops in the finish. A nice one.

Dec 1, 2009 Bottle. Poured dark amber clear, with a beige head. Aroma of sweet malt, toasted malt, nice spicey earthy hops, light nut. Taste is similarly toastey, withsweet malt, and nice bitter hop finish. Hops are a little more forward than other "winter ale"s. Mouth is medium bodied and well carbonated. Overall, a solid brew.

Nov 29, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour was a clear, cider amber with a thin beige head. Nose was rock candy, hops, bubble gum, and a bit of spice. Taste is hoppy and bitter with a light sweet taste that creeps in, to linger along with the bitterness. Not crazy about this one. It’s not terrible, but when a beer is this bitter, there has to be a lot more going on before I can truly enjoy it. I would pick this over Budweiser, but that is not saying much.

Nov 28, 2009 355 ml bottle. Finland.
Clear copper colour with small off-white head.
Sweetish spiced aroma with some maltiness.
Ashy bitter hoppiness with notes of nuts, caramel and some spices.
Decent seasonal brew but once a year is enough.

Nov 26, 2009 12oz bottle poured into a tulip glass produced a thick, off-white head with beautiful clear amber body. Sweet malty smell. Taste was slightly sweet with hints of citrus and a medium hop finish that lingered on your tongue.
