Sep 25, 2006 Translucent and opulent copper in color with an icy white pond rung fading into the center. Wet cardboard calls out the nose with caramel, citric brown bread, soggy graham crackers, mild amaretto and strawberry puffs. Nutty cocoa powder airiness settles in for flavor with a campfire cardboard trait to it. Super clean filtration distracts the flavors, making some aspects out to resemble infant fabric softener. That’s the bad part. The balance and flavor of earthy, dry cocoa mud is the simplistic yet enjoyable part. Nutty, medium-fired cigar wrappers crumble in the finish, and the aftertaste resembles that “morning after smoking a cigar” mouth flavor.

Oct 4, 2004 Amber color with a "moldy" head. No real aroma. Kind of a malty taste, but nothing special. Slightly bitter, probably from the Packers loosing to the Vikings too many times. HA!

Sep 29, 2004 Clear amber body. Somewhat lasting off-white head. Light sweet hops like their EPA, but rindier.

Jan 4, 2004 I tried this on my buddies reconmondation. A nice hjoppy bear that reminds me of a Christmas Seasonal brew. Maybe it is, hence the name and time of year they had it available.
GO PACK!!!!

Jan 1, 2004 Decent hoppiness, nice lasting finish, but little real flavor or aroma beyond a very faint smokiness and hints of citrus.

Feb 4, 2003 This beer had more of a brown color than red. Nice malty smell. Seemed to have more hops than malt, surprising for an amber. Slight caramel flavor. Relatively smooth. The malts picked up at the end, finally drowning out the hops.
