Mar 22, 2009 Amber with a thin tan head. Aroma of spice, malt, ginger and cinnamon. Taste of cinnamon, malt, spice, honey with a heavy spice finish that’s mildly astringent. Pretty much just a mix of spices and malt.

Mar 7, 2009 How about - Pine cones in a glass, in a very good way. This hearty ale always reminds me that Christmas is nearly here, because no matter how much of this they brew every year, you cannot find it in Cleveland by the time the week after Christmas comes around. Get it while it is hot, for $10.99 a 6 pack (well worth it!)

Feb 5, 2009 Reddish color with a big spicy aroma with lots of sugar and cinnamon. Flavor of candy, cinnamon, and assorted spices that don’t match the inviting aroma. OK, but a bit messy.

Feb 2, 2009 Draught, Redlight. Rich copper hue. Slight haze. Lovely thick, thick creamy lacy head leaving a thick lacing. Nice looking brew. Douglas fir, juniper, and holly aromas. Such a nice departure from ho-ho-hum mulling spice brand of Christmas beer. Exceptional smoothness. Soft and silky. Lovely brew, I love this brewery!!

Jan 23, 2009 From a keg brought down from Ohio by Dragonstout and Beervirgin. Pours a pretty clear dark red color with a small, foamy white head that quickly fades away. The aroma has hints of dark fruits, caramel, ginger, and cinnamon. The spices give it a nice fresh smell. The flavor follows suit with the ginger, cinnamon, and other spices coming through, with sweet cookie and caramel malts in the background. The ginger is present throughout and adds a nice touch. Medium bodied mouthfeel and goes down smooth. Different from most christmas ales I have had. Nice stuff.

Jan 20, 2009 Another nice offering from Great Lakes: I was unable to pick this up in bottles but sampled it on draught- Tastey! Pours a bright illuminating copper colour with a big white head. Nutmeg, cinnamon and honey on the nose with flavors of the same, but very creamy- rich and filling.
