Dec 31, 2008 [Bottle] Pours an even amber color with a small amount of white head. Aroma of mulled spices and caramel/toffee malts. The taste is reminiscent of pine needles and sweet juniper mixed with malts. Decent mouthfeel and body. The alcohol in here is well disguised. A good brew.

Dec 21, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper body with a small thinnish looking fizzy off-white head that faded quickly. The nose is slightly sweet with a light spice and herbal accent. A little husky and grainy smelling. Pretty sweet flavor with a thinnish grainy cereal malt base. Some light spicing late in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a course grainy texture and moderate fizzy carbonation. Not really caring for this one too much, but maybe it is a bit over the hill by the time it got too me.
