Dec 12, 2008 12oz bottle. Thanks to thickfreakness for this one. Pours amber with golden edges with off white head. Aroma is sweet malt, fruity, hops and spices. Flavor is malty with spices and hops. Combination of sweet malt and spices works nice for a Christmas ale. This is a year old so unsure how hoppy it was intended to be but this is a nice winter ale.

Dec 8, 2008 Bottle from Mar. Good shit! Amber pour with a light head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, spices and a tad fruity. Flavor is smooth as hell with some nice spices, a slight alcohol warmth and some great malt flavors. Nice holiday brew.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle, thanks to ILoveDarkBeer. Pours clear coppery amber with a fading pale yellow head. Just a little toffee in the nose, maybe a bit of spice, but really not much of anything. Medium body, light carbonation. Nutty toffee flavor with a bit of spice. Quick and somewhat earthy finish. I guess this is really understated?

Oct 22, 2008 Toasted malts, buttery and sugary, some nice spices - hops, fruit, etc. Would be nice if it wasn’t so watered down. Too weak.
