Dec 9, 2008 Pours an orange-tinged brown into a shaker. Off-white head recedes to hug rim leaving no lacing. Roasted malt aromas. Full and malty with a dry hop finish. Tastes better than it looks.

Dec 8, 2008 Bottle from World of Beer, Clearwater, FL.
Poured clear brown color with a large frothy brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate toasted caramel malt aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium spicy sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration.
Solid drinkable holiday beer.

Dec 7, 2008 Bottle. Sweet earthy malt aroma. Dark reddish copper body, small head. Flavor is fairly mild, very malty, with some bitterness in the finish. Not great, but ok.

Jun 18, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, mahogany-hued body with a small, bubbly, white head.
Smell: A pretty wimpy aroma, I dare. Just a light hint of biscuity malts and a pinch of spices.
Taste: Biscuity, light toasty caramel maltiness, though, overall, it’s kinda light. Slight sweetness. Faint fruitiness. Mild spiciness, mild bitterness. Clean, dry finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Nothing bad, but I could definitely stand a bit more -- more of everything. Even if I get my ass thrown onto Santa’s Naughty List I just had to speak my mind about it. Perhaps the oil crunch is hitting us, even Jolly Old Saint Nick, in ways we never could have imagined, but I have a sneaky suspicion he’s holding back.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle courtesy of HogtownHarry-Pours deep amber, with a slight orange haze to it. Head is off white and frothy. The nose is of caramel, bread crust, pit fruit, some milk chocolate. Taste is sweet fruity caramel, prune and plum with milk chocolate and toasty, doughy flavours. Finishes sweet but balanced by good hops bitterness. A good sipper. Thanks again Harry!

May 18, 2008 This one poured a dark amber color. The aroma is full of spices and also some chocolate, caramel, and mint. The flavor is malty with some chocolate and caramel in there. A definite spice presence in this one. Overall a pretty good beer.

May 10, 2008 Pours a transparent copper amber with a spotty-lacing light tan head. Aroma of lightly toasted caramel malt and some piny English hops. Body starts with light caramel malty sweetness, a touch of light fruits and some earthy bittering hops before a slightly citrusy bittersweet finish. An ok ESB.
