Jul 30, 2009 This beer pours a dark red/brown color. The head is at least two inches. It leaves a spot of lace around the glass after settling. The aroma is quite spicy. I also smell fruity hints. A kiss of hops is present as well. The flavor is cinnamon all the way. A bit of clove and a definite alcohol flavor bites on the backend. This beer feels substantial. Which it should since it’s a winter warmer. I’ve spent a few christmas get togethers sippin on this beer. I will most likely be pickin it up again this year.

Jun 10, 2009 aroma of overwhelming general spice and espically orange rind. appearance is dark burnished orange, nearly opaque. flavor is extremely juicy but a bit much to sort out. intense ’spice’ from every angle. more of that orange zest but its darkened up a bit by plenty of clove. seems like the honey did well to be attenuated and bring this brew up to nearly double digits which was an utter surprsie to me (and kudos to the beer itself, i guess). hard to figure if this is just not up my alley or if its actually offensive.

May 19, 2009 Bottle from Siciliano’s, Grand Rapids, MI. Clear dark brown, almost cola color with small, beige tan head. Aroma is spicey, cinnamon, oranges, all very dry. Flavor is spicey, orange, a little biscuit, heavy alc, wow, really intense, fruity. Medium to light with active carbonation. Pretty intense, reminds me of the stone-nogne-jollypumpkin collaboration a little bit.

Apr 8, 2009 Bottle from Captain Cougar. Thanks once more! Pours a dark reddish amber with a decent tan head. Lots of xmas spice aroma - reminds of mincemeat. Full bodied with mild carbonation. Flavor is dark fruit, xmas spice and heavy malt. Heat is present but rather submerged in all the flavors. This one gives xmas ales some sturdy competition. Finish is just a complexity of flavors.
