Nov 15, 2004 Dark and heady with a strong sorgham and vegetable sweetness with a bite of deep roasted malts. Aroma is a foul licorice and barnyard touch like a strong version of Anchor Christmas Ale. Overall, a strange experience but fairly tasty. May be past its prime.

Nov 15, 2004 Nice light tan head, that is supringly lasting for a Mac brew. Body is a nice brown. Aroma is spiced with caramel, slightly nutty. Kinda watery, slightly metallic with brown sugar and there is a background that presents itself in alcohol.

Oct 21, 2004 pretty impressed for a Mac’s product. This Winter ale is good. Deep dark red color, beige semi creamy head. Has a rich aromatic hop aroma. Taste doesn’t follow aroma well. Taste is dark and roasty with a strong hop pressence.

Oct 20, 2004 Sweet malty aroma with caramel and spice. Pours a dark crimson red with a off-white head. Taste starts quickly with a kick of sweetness, warm caramel, and with a spicy edge. The finish on this brew was not all that great leaving a cocoa tasting chalky film behind with a dry bitterness. Still a very warming brew and probably one of mactarnahans better brews.

Sep 15, 2004 2003. Doughy head slowly falls leaving some sugary lacing and some light clumpy head. Dark reddish brown beer. Yummy Barley Wine - like aroma of malt and spices. Very nice flavour, like a cross between a malty Irish Ale and a Barley Wine.
