Dec 9, 2007 On tap @ brewery during the 2006 GABF open house. Aroma is brown sugar, cinnamon, spice, and a hint of oak. Taste is brown sugar, coffee, mild oak, cinnamon. Tastes like a holiday ale. The oak is complimentary, not dominate, a well done oak aged beer.

Oct 3, 2007 As if the hibernation ale wasn’t good enough. This has all the good qualities of the regular but with added richness. A very pleasent oaky vanilla flavor.
