Dec 30, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of joergen. Clear, dark, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Sweetish, spicy nose of cardamom and dried fruits with some alcohol presence. Quite full-bodied with sweetish caramel and a distinct spiciness - Speculaas-style. The finish is dry. 191207

Dec 23, 2008 22 oz. bottle poured a deep dark brown color with a thick heavy light tan head that kept a nice thin layer. aroma has cinnamon, nutmeg, faint ginger, and lightly sweet honey. mouth feel is a little light and light with low carbonation. the malt in the flavor is mild and there is plenty of spices including cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and mild ginger that i would not have recognized had it not been in the description. I am not sure if the body or the honey is throwing me off but this is hard to get into.

Dec 25, 2007 Dark brown beer with tan head. Has an interesting aroma. The description doesn’t list wood aging as part of the brewing practice, but I detect some leather and cherry-stone aroma suggesting Brettanomyces. Has a sweet taste with caramel and spicy notes. Although I knew which spices are added, I could not pick them out. Well done.

On tap at HopCat. This brew has aromas and flavors that start with a good cinnamon tone on top of roasted malts with notes of candy sugar as well.

Dec 28, 2007 Pours a dark cherry red with small white head. Spicy aroma with alcohol and frit presence. Tastes kind of funky with a mix of spicy pepper, ginger, syrupy cough medicine, dark cherries and alcohol

Dec 17, 2007 Not a bad Christmas beer but not my favorite by any means.
Looks exactly like extremely strong tea when poured. Not much of a head to this.
Smells like a big pumpkin pie that’s been laced with alcohol.
Very sweet taste to this beer, as expected. Almost too sweet tasting. I can definitely taste the honey and spices in this but I’m not sure in a good way.
I’m not sure how much of this I could drink. I finished this one but I don’t know if I would drink a second. It’s not a bad beer or anything, but it’s just a bit sweet for my tastes.

Dec 31, 2008 Bottle from S&K Beverage in Plano, TX. Pours a clear deep brown-red with beige head. Aroma of ginger, cinnamon, malt, and fruit. Flavor has malt, is sweet, alcohol, fruit, ginger, cinnamon, clove, exactly what they say. Palate is medium-heavy body with med-high carbonation. Over all, the flavors where WAY too present, in my opinion, a little over done. I liked it and hated it.....But I wouldn’t mind having it again.....in a weird way, almost reminded me of eggnog. This was kinda tricky to rate, but it was like a good winter warmer dessert beer.

Jan 28, 2009 Here comes the 300th rating for this beer! Bomber split with Barrios. Pours a very dark brown with brilliant clarity and chestnut highlights and a fair very light tan head. Massive nutmeg is the overwhelming aroma note. More complexities come out in flavor. Anise, cinnamon, ginger is predominant, nutmeg, clove. Medium body with medium carbonation. I totally agree with nqualls assessment that this is like a pumkin beer without the pumpkin. Nice change of pace.
