Pours amber,/orange, thin beige head.
Aroma is malty with some nice spices and brown sugar.
Taste, dry, malty, caramelized sugar, some spices; cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
Some pine hops with the spices not overly present.
Finish leans on a light hops with touch of pear/spives, balanced out with good caramel, toffee.
Seemed to alternate between the bitter and sweet. BgThang (118), Texas, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 11, 2009 Bottle courtesy of theisti; thanks Tim. Pours a hazy caramel orange with a loose beige head that quickly collapses to a small island of bubbles at the surface. The nose is a sweet, somewhat medicinal blend of spicy hops, allspice and dark caramel malt. Light to medium-bodied and grainy with a spicy finish. The flavor follows the nose: a dark caramel malt note takes a back seat to a big blend of holiday spices and spicy hops. It finishes nutty, spicy and slightly astringent. I am just not a big fan of most heavily spiced or spicy-hopped beers, and this one is no exception. jcwattsrugger (5573), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
