Jan 3, 2009 Bottle: Pours a dark amber with thin white head. Smells of malts, cinnamon, and cloves. Tastes of the same, but not so bitter. Other spices flow into the mix, like nutmeg and a hint of ginger. Goes well on a cold night, but hops should be added for a more unique taste.

Jan 2, 2009 Updated: Jan 5, 2009I found this surprisingly good for point. It has a nice sharp yeastiness to it with a bit of nuttiness and dark fruits. Thin for its flavor and style, still a decent effort here.
re-rating comment: first comments referred to tap. Just tried it in bottle and it’s not nearly as good (a bit cloying in the finish).

Dec 29, 2008 Deep amber color with a thin off white head. This brew has a nice balance with hint of cinnamon and a nice malty mouth feel. Not a bad winter warmer.

Dec 9, 2008 Deep amber in color. Lightly spiced and fruity aroma. Sweet at the start with notes of malt, caramel and a bit of cocoa. Hint of spice. Flavors are fairly subdued. Some bitterness creeps in after a few sips and becomes more pronounced by mid-glass.

Dec 9, 2008 Poured dark amber, almost brown with a decent off-white head. Some lacing. The aroma was malts, winter type spices like clove, ginger and cinnamon and some tart citrus. The flavor was more of the same. Clove and cinnamon over malt and thin hops. Mouthfeel was on the dry side. A pretty average winter warmer.

Dec 5, 2008 nice color, not much head, smells of malts and spices. not much lacing on the glass, smooth on the palate
Very interesting flavor, but I had a hard time picking out distinct flavors other than malt, and maybe cinnamon notes.
Overall, I thought that this was a good winter ale

Nov 29, 2008 Pours a clear amber color with virtually no head. Aroma of banana/bubble gum and brown sugar. Similar taste with a little bit of cinnamon and hops. Not a bad beer but it’s a little too sweet.
