Apr 21, 2005 Cloudy dark reddish brown with a decent light brown head that leaves some lacing in my glass. Chocolate and peppermint aromas, candy cane and mint chocolate flavors. Medium bodied with a soft and creamy mouthfeel, leaves a nice fresh minty aftertaste. A really tasty holiday ale.

Dec 25, 2004 O’Fallon did a good job of adding a non-traditional ingrediant to beer. I wouldn’t want to drink more than a couple at a time but overall I enjoyed it. It was a nice novelty and I look forward to next year’s batch.

Dec 5, 2004 Updated: Dec 6, 2004Very creamy and dense off white head. A very very dark brown body with a little cloudiness. Aroma is bread, ginger, celery and cinnamon. Tastes are nutmeg, ginger and a very thick bread. Sethdude is correct, there is also mint in the finish. Refreshing. Mouthfeel is creamy and full. A nice treat for the winter. Thanks sethdude for the delivery!

Dec 30, 2004 Pours a murky dark brown with a nice, thinly lacing, frothy light tan head. Aroma is a very intriguing blend full of ginger, cinnamon sugar, and spearmint. Body starts with a light sugary gingerbread flavor, turning more cinnamon and nutmeg spicy with a clean mint finish and hints of dark chocolate. All these great flavors are there, but they could blend together a little better and be more balanced, but otherwise this is an interesting and enjoyable holiday brew. Thanks JPDIPSO!

Dec 9, 2004 Nice spicy, piney aroma. Not much head, color is a very very dark red, quite nice. Palate is sweet and full. Spicy and very minty on the tongue, but not overdone and very drinkable. A beefed up heartier version of this would rock.

Nov 21, 2004 O’Fallon Brewery always amazes me with their unique flavor combinations, because they are so good! Pours a dark brown with thin white lacing on top. Smells sweet, roasty, malty, and very minty. Flavor is identical to aroma. I never wold have thought to mix beer and mint, but it actually works pretty well.This is a seasonal that I hope they continue to make every year.

Jan 18, 2006 Better than I thought a mint beer would be. Slight chocolate flavor to balance the mint with a fairly regular body and finish. Tastes great as dessert with chocolate cake.

Dec 19, 2005 Sampled at a 2005 Christmas and Winter beer tasting at Delilah’s, Chicago, IL. 2004 vintage. Clear amber beer having a long-lasting off-white head with fair lacing. No discernable carbonation. Nice spicy candy aroma. Light-to-medium bodied that starts with slight sweet malt, spice, and toffee flavors. Finishes with light malt aftertaste. Though rather thin textured, this is a good drinkable winter brew.
