Dec 13, 2008 Sample at December 12, 2008 Beer Club meeting. Medium dark brown color. Small head. Spicy aroma! Reminds me of a spice cake. Light, but a little syrupy. You can actually taste the alcohol a little in this. And the spices... cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon are in your face but not overpowering. Heavy, nice gravity. Love it!

Dec 13, 2008 Winter warmer. Spiced, but nothing like the intensity of an Anchor and I like that about this beer. You get the winter taste, the strong ale, the malts, and you can drink more than one. More than one Anchor is like eating fruit cake.

Dec 10, 2008 A whiskey colored dark oak amber ale with a 2 inch tan head and a noticeable ginger aroma. Messing lacing. Flavor is barley malt and ginger snap. Aftertaste conjours up a strong reminiscence of Christmas. I am not a big fan of ginger, but this beer has plenty of it and it lingers in the finish.

Pours amber, beige head
Aroma is sugary - honey - loaded with spices and ginger
Taste. The ginger reminded me a lot of the bad experience I had with LF Juju ginger beer. Regardless of that, the beer is a fine enjoyable brew
Loaded with sweet honey and ginger, cinnamon and other spices. There is plenty of spices to go about here.

Dec 8, 2008 Updated: Dec 13, 200822 oz. bottle. Pours a thin tan head, minimal duration over a clear coppery brown body.....nose like a cookie with multiple spice odors including nutmeg, cardamom cinnamon.....tastes initially of malts then the spices come in and almost over power all else, ending with sweetness and finally cinnamon. It is like liquid gingerbread. Mouth feel is pleasant and chewy. The spice is too much.

Dec 8, 2008 Bomber at Jerrys. Mahogany with good, creamy tan head / Nose of sweet, spiced malts / Medium to full body, sweet, malty, and moderately syrupy, with good, subtle hop balance and long finish / Flavors of spun sugar, malt, toast, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, orange zest, and ginger / A very successful spice beer, which does taste like a holiday spice cake.
