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!

Mar 9, 2008 12oz bottle. Brown-amber color. Aroma is sweet and mild. Flavor is sweet and drinkable, with some chocolate and amber notes. Medium bodied, not unlike a Dunkle. A mild crispy hoppy character helps to balance the beer out. Pretty good beer, certainly an enjoyable seasonal.

May 27, 2008 Very good! Aro!ma is full of dark malts, with some chocolate as well. It’s not really impressive looks wise, almost no head, and a very average brown body. It’s full of dark malty roasty goodness, with some nice chocolate as well, and just a sprinkling of alcohol. It’s extremely easy drinking. Solid

Nov 30, 2001 one of the better seasonal chritmas brews. very dark with a spicy aroma.
nice thick mouthfeel.
lots of complex spices evident in the first few sips, then it fades into s pleasant malty bock(but a little sweet).
