Apr 2, 2008 Pours lucid and red with a thin skin of white. Firm, fruity aroma of cranberry, raisin, and blackberry; scone and biscuit maltiness, syrupy caramel, and bittersweet reduced rum. Noble hops, light vinegar and toffee. Flavor is primarily raisin, rock candy, and thin vanilla; browned bananas, pistachio, almond. Thoroughly straightforward, and fully likeable. Bits of vinousness, pepper and vegetal hop tones flutter with fitting restraint throughout. Palate is easy and sparkly; light to medium bodied, and almost unnoticeable in swallowing. Finishes with some sugary dough, orange and maple. A completely comfortable, fairly complex and refreshing winter sessioner. Thanks Ken!

Dec 15, 2003 Interesting concept brewing a bock as a Xmas beer. Maybe best described as a Bock beer base with chocolate malts and a bit of spice added for Xmas beer flavor. Interesting and drinkable.

Dec 13, 2002 A very good seasonal. Malty, with a hint of some spices. I suspect a lot of hops to balance the malts, but they were hardly evident.

Dec 26, 2006 Clear, dark copper appearance with an average size head and slight lacing. Earthy, briar patch aroma with sweet malts in the background. Toasty, moderately sweet taste with dried fruit, spices, toffee and caramel. Medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel, leading to a pleasant, lingering, mildly spiced finish.

Dec 23, 2008 Bottle from Sams in Durham. Dark clear brown pour with nearly white thin head that sticks around. Wheat and malt strong on the nose. Roasty chocolate. Odd vanilla-like notes. Definitely decent, and cool bottle. Simply okay beer.
