Dec 13, 2007 Found this one bottled (22 oz.) at Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Hazy, dark brown pour with a thick, foamy off white head. A bit of citrus, ginger and nutmeg in the nose, but dominated by bready maltiness. Spiciness continues into the taste. Considerable alcohol and sweetness, bitterness is low but present with a bit of orange rind and lots of ginger. Strong but clean finish. This is very good.

Feb 27, 2006 This spiced ale pours a deep brown color from a 22oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is cinnamon, ginger and sweet malts. A medium bodied ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are earthy and slightly floral. Lots of spices in this beer, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and some clove and coriander. Interesting mix of flavors. It’s most definitely a X-mas beer. Nice soft mouthfeel. Hides the 8.6% alcohol very well. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

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.
