Sep 8, 2006 Pours with an amber-red body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s sweet and malty with tons of all spice and nutmeg notes. Almost to much. Medium bodied and slightly warming.

Jun 9, 2006 A nice ruby red / orange to brown appearance with a nice initial head that provided continuous lacing along the glass walls for half of the drink. A nice look. The aroma was very spiced over some caramel malts. The flavor revealed ginger and cinnamon. Cloves were evident after reading they were in there. Mouthfeel was moderate and a little bit acidic. Good job for the style, although the ginger was a bit too strong. (Like a high abv Great Lakes Christmas Ale.)

May 10, 2006 Bomber: Pours a very nice mahogany color with a very nice head. Wow this isnt your normal beer. The first flavor is of nutmeg there is some cinnamon and cloves present. It tastes a mix between eggnog and beer. The taste is pretty well balanced though. I can see this being a beer that you either like or dont.

May 5, 2006 Bottle. Poured brown hue with average creamy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Heavy spicy pumpkin pie aroma. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Heavy sweet pumpkin pie in a blender with a hoppy beer added flavor and an average sweet finish. Interesting drinkable brew.

Apr 29, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & Dave B. -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy ruby-orange with a small diminishing off-white head. Very spicey aroma of Xmas spices along with caramel malt. Flavour’s the same, lots of Xmas spices and caramel malt with some alcohol and hops in the finish. Pretty simple and not for everyone but I loves me the spicey beers!

Apr 26, 2006 Bottle (650ml). Shared with blankboy and Dave B, my bottle, via trade with Fyrecrakker05. Poured hazy ruby-mahogany with an average off-white head. Very spicy (pepper, winter spices, cinnamon) aroma, sweety toasty malt, slightly vegetal, noticeable alcohol, floral hops. Taste is extremely, sharply herbal - bitterness mixed with minty sweetness, but finishes quite bitter, wow. Mouthfeel is astringent, lively, long finish. Nice - 3.28?? I like it more than that ...

Apr 1, 2006 22-oz. bottle. Pours ruby-copper with an edgy tan head and patchy lacing on top. Aroma is cinnamon, clove and hoppy pine and spruce, candied sugars and malt (caramel, maple, cookie). Flavor starts with a cinnamon burn, moderately sweet and then acidic, drying to the palate, tart hoppy body, alcohol burn with a fading flavor. Medium and fizzy, spicy, dry palate.
