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 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.

Dec 23, 2007 Bomber, courtesy of my SS. Copper color with a tight, bubbled head. The spicy aroma is cinnamon and nutmeg with some pumpkin. The palate is creamy smooth, reminding me of ST PumpKing. Nice maltiness and nice hoppiness. This is one of the best LH beers I’ve had in a long while. Some almond flavors as well.

Dec 23, 2005 Pours a reddish/brown amber with a large bubbly off white head and a few small floaties. Head diminishes fairly quickly but some sticks around to lace the glass. Aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon, honey and some piney hops hidden in there. Also picking up some toasted malts. Flavors are similar, maybe a little less spice in the taste and a little more of the hops coming through. The hops in the flavor save this one from being overly "artificial". I think all the Pumpkin Ales I had earlier this year may have turned me a bit off to the spice beers.

Jan 24, 2005 Bottle. Poured a small fizzy tan head that quickly dissipated, fine-small sized bubbles, no lacing, carbonated, mostly transparent, and an orange brown hue. Aroma was malty, lightly hoppy, spicy, sweet and alcohol. The flavor was sweet, spicy, malty, some caramel, watery, and the vinuous crept in as the beer warmed up. Smooth, watery, thin mouthfeel. Light body.
