Dec 8, 2008 Bottle acquired via Sparky27. Thanks Eric. Wish I could use exclamation marks...killin me. Caramel, grape juice, and spice in the nose. Vibrant copper body with a solid white head and spotty lacing. Flavor exhibits weet caramel, honey, and ginger...a little thin but Im not upset. A solid Christmas brew. Thanks again Eric.

Dec 7, 2008 bottle. Aroma has notes of caramel, spice, veggies, yeast, and belgian overtones. Medium amber hue with an average off white head that mostly diminished and left little lace. Flavor is sweet and finishes slightly bitter. Palate is light to medium bodied and watery lively. Boring and really kind of what is the point.

Dec 7, 2008 Pours amber with a small white head. Super heavy carbonation. Aroma is of spice, honey. malt, and hops. Taste is of hopd, spice, ginger, pine and a nice malt backbone. Nice full-bodied taste. A tad too sweet, nut not undrinkable.

Dec 6, 2008 amber pour with thin white head. This is really sweet. And there is no balance to the sweatness at all. Kind of a bready maltiness to it, and tons of cinnamon and ginger. Ugh. The sweetness of this beer is insane, and makes it nearly undrinkable. God I wish I didnt have a six pack of this.

Dec 6, 2008 Pours a somewhat hazy amber with a thin off-white head. Leaves great lacing on the glass. Malty aroma with notes of cinnamon. Initial malty flavor gives way to more cinnamon and ginger. A suprisingly balanced finish for an otherwise sweet beer. We in Northeast Ohio look forward to this every year, and I for one drink it up.

Dec 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours copper brown with small long lasting beige head. Smells malty and hints of cinnamin. Tastes like bread grain malts up front, with semi sweet carmel and honey flavors coming through. Aftertaste is alot of ginger and some cinnamon. Very good long lasting flavor.

Dec 3, 2008 Pours a warm caramel color from the bottle with a creamy off-white head. More pine cones than pine needles. Wet hopped for sure with flavors of plum, mild cinnamon, and clove. Nice, but a little cloying.
