Jul 3, 2005 Very dark red. Nearly looks like a stout. No head. Mulled red wine aroma with cinnamon, nutmeg and coffee. Thin in body. Musky spice flavor.

Jun 30, 2005 Dark brown with just a tan ring for a head. Aroma is good though with all sorts of spices. Taste is another story sadly. Zippy and dull with flavors of pumpkin and molasses. Thanks go out to Lou18 for the brew.

Jun 5, 2005 Thanks to Lou18 for this beer.
Poured dark brown with a fizzy off-white head which dissipated completely. Looks a little like Coca-Cola. Spicy aroma of cinnamon, molasses. Tastes of dark fruits, spices, with a dry finish. I thought of it as being similar to a thin doppelbock. All right I guess, but something about this beer just didn’t strike a strong chord with me.

Apr 28, 2005 I have had many of these, and I like them more and more. The aroma of cinnamon and spice with orange is apparent right from the pour. Dark body with a small off white head. The taste was complex, with all the spices and malts mix and twirler to form a different sensations with each sip. This was very good. Can’t wait till next year.

Feb 11, 2005 More thanks to lmgraz1, this poured the darkest "amber" I’ve ever seen, closer would be dark brown or claret colored, aroma is spicy, I got lots of cinnamon, very little head, just a thin layer that went away fast. Taste is a nice mix of malts and spices, the cinnamon that was in the aroma is just as prevalent in the taste. Excellent finish, very smooth, medium body. A very enjoyable brew.

Dec 13, 2004 On draft. Pours dark copper with some ruby. Aroma of malt, slight nuts and spice. Good Christmasy flavor with decent complexity and a smooth finish. I like RVB beers, and this one is no exception.

Nov 28, 2004 Small layer of a head. Dark bronw color, wooden burnt nose. Wooden, roasted hazelnut taste, which lasts long.
