Nov 26, 2008 From bottle. Pours amber with slight tan head. Aroma is of sweet malt and spice.
Decent mouthfeel with a good spice blend, caramel and malt. Alcohol is very well hidden. I was surprised to see it was 7.5%. Decent winter warmer.

Nov 21, 2008 I’ve had bottle and tap. Pours clear dark copper color with off white head. Aroma is cinnamon, ginger, and alcohol. Has a medium body. Flavor is cinnamon (which is more pronounced on tap than in bottle form), ginger, alcohol, and a caramel sweetness that is not cloying. Overall, this is a solid winter warmer that is a favorite of locals. Myself included.

Nov 20, 2008 Not something that I could drink all night, but good for a taste. I had not even a bottle so I might change my mind if I had more, but pretty solid effort. My first beer from this brewer.

Nov 19, 2008 Draft at Kuma’s. Not super spicy, but my palate may have been blasted when I got to it. A very nice ESB base on this one with some light spiciness and good bitterness to compliment. Pours a dark brown, very fresh tasting and drinkable. Very nice.

Nov 19, 2008 Updated: Dec 9, 2009big ginger aroma gives way to nearly overspiced flavor. just as things get cloying and messy, the spice fades and super toasty, biscuity malt shines like the sun. seems like the ’09 has far better malt character (or perhaps a more careful hand with the spice)

Oct 22, 2008 Bottle nice artwork.. Pours an amber body. Sweet malty a bit bready, spiced with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. Nice etoh to finish a bit dry.
