Nov 27, 2009 on tap at Taco Mac, Cumming. arrived in a pint glass with a deep copper / light brown color with a thin off white head. sweet malt / spice aromas... really pleasant and quite different. medium body with nutmeg, slight alcohol and more sweet malts. very warming overall... a really nice winter seasonal ale that is very drinkable with a lot of flavor.

Nov 26, 2009 22 ounce bottle thanks to Brent. Pours a dark beige color with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet nutty notes, light malts and spices. The flavor is similar; a smooth and crisp flavor of nutty and sweet malty flavors, light spices. Easygoing and flavor-filled.

Nov 24, 2009 Slight spice on the nose... but otherwise very unremarkable. Medium body with nice roasty-sweet malt notes. Hint of nutmeg and toasted walnuts. Finish brief, but pleasant. Again... all in all, and ok seasonal, but I have come to expect more from Highland.

Nov 9, 2009 I look forward to tasting this beer every year. My favorite from Highlands Brewing Company. There is a strong alcohol smell to the aroma. The flavor changes every year but is always excellent. Spicy, can be too sweet at times. But overall, I great winter beer.

Nov 3, 2009 Relatively light for a winter for me. Balanced, some spice, faint hops, malty flavor with a hint of roasted bitterness. Nice body but not much complexity.

Aug 9, 2009 (1L swing top bottle thanks to ballewblake) Pours a dark chocolate brown with decent head and good lacing. Nose is caramel, sweet corn, and chocolate. Taste is mildly sweet chocolate, finishes with more delicious chocolate, a nice hop balance, creamy and overall very good. A nice surprise.
