I’ve been freezing all day so I wanted to try something warming. While not terrible, this wasn’t really all that great. Pours a copper, amber color with a mediumish head. The head and lacing end up being nonexistant halfway through it. Ginger and a spiced aroma followed by a flavor that consists of ginger, nutmet, cinnamon and pumpkin. How is this a winter beer? Those seem to be characteristics you’d find in a fall beer. I found the mouthfeel to be a little thin and tart. It was okay, but that’s about it.

Sep 29, 2008 Updated: Oct 7, 2008This is christmas in a bottle. This is probaly the first non normal beer that i ever drank and liked. It has a soft spot in my heart. When i started college this was unavailable in my home state, the year after i graduated it became available there and that was the best christmas present of all

Sep 9, 2008 Bottle, 5.5% at GBBF08. Strange spicy aroma. Clear chestnut colour. Small tan head. Good sweet cookie flavour. Brunkage, whatever spice that is. Quite a lot of it, but I like brunkager and it is balanced OK by malt and alcohol. Hint of alcohol or hop bite in the finish, probably paint thinner, but I can live with that.

Aug 9, 2008 Clear dark amber with large white head. Loads of cardarmum in the aroma and flavor. Christmas in a bottle..., but a bad christmas.
