Oct 5, 2008 Pours amber, off white head.
Aroma is malty, dark fruits.
Taste is sugary, malty, candi sugar. Beer fell a little flat in the overall taste, too thin.
Gets into the holiday style, but nowhere near as good as many others.

Mar 15, 2008 22 oz bottle. Deep amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is quite fruity initially with notes of red grape, cherry and berries. As the temperature comes up a bit there is a fairly nice chocolatey/earthy maltiness. Flavour is fairly sweet with a bit of licorice that really picks up as the temp comes up even more. Light orange marmalade, raisin bread toast adn a soft earthy hoppiness with a light spiciness. This is quite a nice brew.

Jan 7, 2008 22oz from a colleague - thanks, Ann! Deep amber pour with caramel malts dominant in the nose. Decent winter warmer, with some fruity hop crispness in there and pleasing sweetness. Kinda bland biscuity finish though, but not bad.

Dec 28, 2007 Nice off-white with a dark, cloudy cpper body. Rich sugary malt aroma. Palae is kind of watery.... upsetting for a beer with that much alcohol. Minimal chocolate taste. Little metallic taste in there too. Light hops. Taste s ok, but the lightness of the palate annoyed me...
