Jul 27, 2009 Dark red color. Head disappeared very quickly. Sweet smell, of fruit and spices. Different taste. Lots of dark fruit and cinnamon. Spice flavor really comes through on the finish.

Jan 15, 2009 22 oz bomber purchased at Frugal MacDoogal’s about a year ago. Poured a dark amber/red color with a one finger off white head. The aroma was very spicy with cinnamon and cloves. The flavor was not as malty as I expected. The same spices in the aroma are still very present. This tastes like a pumpkin beer, without the pumpkin finish.

Jan 3, 2008 Tap at the Muddy Pig. Rusty orange; clear. Muddled and very sweet aroma of orange peel, cinnamon and honey; drying touches of cloves, cardamom, and pickled ginger. The nuances are each present in their own right but somewhat hard to distinguish or to appreciate within the heavily sweetened pumpkin and carrot cake construct they serve. Strange. Flavors of bubblegum, banana, strong vanilla and creamy cotton candy; spices are less apparent although they glimmer dimly and mysteriously around the edges for the duration; clover and heather honey tends to dominate with a very sticky and restive type of sweetness. Top heavy, but lucidly presented, and cleanly balanced. Smooth and medium bodied with gentle carbonation; soft with a marshmallow and salty spice touch in a loose finish. Surprising; not too messy.

Dec 11, 2005 Pours an amber color with a fairly thick head. Winter spices dominate the aroma with nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon standing out the most. Way too much nutmeg in the flavor with enough ginger to give the impression of bad christmas cookies. Not my thing really.

Oct 10, 2007 Had this on 2/9/2004. Aroma reminds me of an apple stout I once brewed, it is a sweet cidery scent. Color is a deep amber with light carbonation and thin head. Taste is rich and cidery. Starting with a full body that turns sharp and goes down with a spicy feel. The finish comes on rich with a spicy sweetness that is backed by an apple cider like taste, this all ends with a bold bitterness that hangs on. Overall I don’t like it, you can drink it but its not much fun. This cider thing has got to go, they really need to rethink this winter brew and come up with something more Stout like. I do not intend to drink this one again unless they change the recipe.

Dec 29, 2005 Good for what it is, but as spices do little to get my "elf on" I can only get just so excited. I have more notes on this, but don’t think they’ll add much beyond my liking this is a limited manner.

Dec 7, 2005 Clear amber with a thin tan head. Cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus and allspice in the aroma. Strange, steeped spice flavor. Rather still on the palate with lingering nutmeg and clove flavors and some woodiness. Distinct, though not exactly appealing flavors. It is a bit muddy in the finish. Doesn’t come together to good for me.
