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.

Feb 13, 2008 Black tea color with a khaki head. Spiced up smell of cloves, nutmeg, gingerbread cookies. Malty sweet taste with cloves, nutmeg, and ginger are nice but not overpowering here. 12706

Jan 9, 2008 Aroma: sourish, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, honey, malty, sweet, strange cookie.
Flavour: mm... cookies, milky, bitter, surprisingly dry... Very weird... Winegum with less sugar. Not bad but the spices get very tiring after a few glasses. Coke + gingerbread + [looks like I’ve wrtten "chateau/milk" - ?].
Appearance: deep orangey red w/ tinted head. Thin, clinging foam leaving scattered film.

May 18, 2008 Lots of spice detected in this one, although its not overly good. Has kind of a flat aftertaste. Alcohol really isn’t there. Guess its pretty good for the style, but I’ve had better.

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 10, 2007 Bottle-Memphis. Delicious caramel and chocolate flavor with a grainy nose. Strong nutmeg kicks up at the tail end.

Mar 14, 2009 On Draft at Rattle & Humm, NYC. Pours a dark body. Noticeably spicy and hopped beer. This is a pretty good winter warmer style ale.
