Mar 5, 2008 Courtesy of Degarth. Amber colored, dark center with lighter edges. 1 finger thick white head, no retention, leaves a foamy layer atop the beer and minimal lacing. Nose of hops, caramel malts, assorted spices, honey, ginger, citrus fruits, cloves and nutmeg. Flavor profile very similar, heavy on the spice and juicy citrus fruits. Good stuff, but there is something I can’t quite put my finger on that keeps it from reaching that next level and being a really good beer. Medium bodied, slightly sticky and very warming. Lengthy, spicy and sweet fruit filled finish, with a wave of hops and astringency at the very end.

Dec 9, 2007 Updated: Dec 25, 2007Bottle, A very zesty and spice aroma, orange peel and cinnamon are prevalent. Reminds me of christmas, nice aroma. Pours a dark brown/red color with a nice lasting brown head. Nice sweet taste pretty good with a great amount of spices. Very christmas like I like it. But could not finish the bottle just too much spice.

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.

May 17, 2008 Bomber. Filtered dark copper. Light brown skinny head. Very sweet, spice, and malty. Thick chewy mouth while alcohol is minimal. In general underwhelming.

Oct 29, 2005 22 oz bottle. Pours a dark ruby amber with a thin wispy head that quickly goes to a thin collar.
The aroma is cinnamon, ginger, honey and chocolate. Not nearly as appealing as Anchor’s OSA.
The flavor is some sweet honey (a little too much so) malts up front followed by lots of strong spices. Cinnamon is the dominant one, especially in the finish mixed with some spicy hops. There’s some ginger too. The alcohol is well hidden, but provides some warming. It’s medium bodied and a little watery.
Overall, decent but a very poor man’s Anchor OSA. The spices don’t come together and blend well. It’s kind of like drinking a Cinnamon Chex beer.
