Nov 30, 2003 Clear orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma is strong caramel with some smokiness. Flavor is pure caramel malt with only minimal hops. Some plastic taste develops in the aftertaste. Very much like a brown ale. Just ok.

Nov 20, 2003 Aroma is malty, a mix of caramel, toffee, and cereal grains. No hops detectable. Kind of a hazy orange color with poor head retention. Flavor echoes the aroma, somewhat watery. Spice presence is subtle, wouldn't have known it was spiced if it didn't say so in the description. Disappointing.

Nov 16, 2003 Inviting complex and sweet aroma, with hints of spices. Pours to rusty amber with a tight thin head. Very malty with a bitter finish, spices sprinkled throughout. Slightly sweet with hints of wood (oak?). Pleasant and light-bodied for a winter ale.

Nov 9, 2003 Lightly hazy amber color with small head and a little lacing. There's a lot of vinous slightly tart notes in the end, very light though. I believe this is the 02 version of this beer but can't find any labels on this one to denote it.

Nov 7, 2003 (2003) Color is a light copper color and clear with a medium white head and average lacing. Aroma is malty, nutty with light spicy notes. Flavor is slightly bitter and mildy spicy with a HUGE body that finishes quite dry. Major alcohol numbness on the gums and palate. This is a very different and interesting brew and I think it is underated.

Oct 31, 2003 Pours a reddish amber with a foamy white head and lacing. Mild aromas of spice and malt, none really specific. A mellow flavor of some spice, maybe mild cinammon, sweet malts. A nice tangy finish. A good beer.

Oct 19, 2003 Pretty good chamomile tea, but not a very good beer. Didn't have any sweetness or cinnamon like a christmas beer, and palate was very thin - not impressive.

Oct 15, 2003 Nice reddish brown color. Almost no head. Strange aroma, hops and spices. Pretty wierd. The taste is something I can't put my finger on. A medium mouthfeel that stays for days. If you want something different this it.
