Feb 5, 2008 Pours a very dark brown that some light comes through. Minimal crème head. Nose is very nutty and leafy and earthy. Very nice indeed. Flavor is robust and sweet. This seems like a mix between a winter warmer and a brown ale. Distinct sugar-laden characters with noticeable earthy qualities there as well. Liquid feel is smooth. Carbonation is low, but still nice.

Feb 18, 2008 This seems like a cross between a weizenbock and a spiced holiday ale. Flavors of prunes, coffee, herbs, and hops. The high alcohol level is tastable. Unusual and interesting. On tap.

Jan 22, 2008 Tap at HDG Daze of the Devil. Very dark brown beer. Toasty chocolatey aroma with a bit of brown sugar and loads of banana as well. Flavour is very chewy and sweet. Spicy and wheaty with a chewy lingering sweet finish. Toasted sweet malts and light chocolate. Lingering spiciness and is quite well-balanced and tasty. A kiss of alcohol on the back.

Jan 30, 2008 Tap at HDG Daze. One of my favorites of the day. Very nice dark color with a little head. Aroma of wheat, and spices with a lot of malts to balance it out. Nice flavor. Very well balnced spices and great body. Some faint dark fruits of raisins and some bittersweet chocolate too. Pretty good overall.

Jan 17, 2004 Christmas spiciness at the nose. Deep garnet/amber color. Quickly dissipating head. Honey sweetness with tastes of gingerbread and cinnamon. Usually I am not a fan of spice beers, but this is nice.
