Nov 29, 2007 aroma is that ol familiar yeast/butt smell. Dark amber color, with pretty and smooth beige head that coats the sides of the glass. Has both spiced and belgian flavors.

Nov 28, 2007 Dark brown color with a fairly large head. Strong aroma of ginger, followed by an even stronger flavor of ginger. The cloves stand out, but the rest of the spices kind of mingle and muddle into the background. A little sweet caramel. Not bad, but definitely must like ginger to enjoy this beer.

Nov 27, 2007 Sampled from 22-oz bomber at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN - shared by joebrew. Pours a semi-clear dark amber brew with a decent light tan head. Aroma of Holiday spice of nutmeg, cloves, some cinnamon, and caramel malt. Flavor is medium to full bodied, sweet- spiced with low carbonation. Flavor taste included dark caramel malt, some gingerbread, nutmeg and molasses. Finish has a floral hoppy and Holiday spice aftertaste. Bring on the Christmas beers!

does not count  Nov 26, 2007 Bomber. Pours a very pretty dark amber with a light tan head. Smooth mouthfeel and strong spice flavors. Really thick aftertaste. Like a gingerbread house in a bottle; the spices quickly become overpowering. It’s over-spiced, but it’s still a nice winter warmer and would be a great treat at the Christmas party.

Nov 26, 2007 Pours a real nice Medium roast like brown, with a nice light tan head. Very spicy nose with a good dose of nutmeg, cinnamon, and a hint of ginger accentuate a very light sweet citrus hop aroma. Very full bodied, and low carbonation. There is an almost smoked meat like profile as well as some nutmeg cinnamon, mollases, and a light floral hoppiness. Very unique, but nice.

Nov 19, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours a deep clear amber in color. Aroma is spicy with ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and caramel malt.
Taste is medium to full bodied with alot of caramel, and pretty spicy, cinnamon, nutmeg, Finishes sweet and spicy. A bit too much spice for me, just can’t personally get into this one although it is very clean and well done.
