Pours a clear brown with a creme head that falls quickly to leave a thin film on the top of me brew. Nie sweet and woody kind of nose. Flavor is tangy at first. Smooths out nicely as time goes on. Nice mellow sweet tones with a malty edge that is noticed, but not the dominant feature here. Mouthfeel is a bit thicker and slick on the liquid and the carbonation is nice, but low. Overall I found this a really easy to drink winter warmer. If you are looking for a nice example of the style, I highly suggest this one. I kind of forgot about reviewing it for a while as I just enjoyed sip after sip.

Apr 12, 2008 Chalk up another average at best beer. Pours a dark brown color with minimal head. Malty with some sugar spicy flavor in there and slightly sour finish. It’s decent and warming but nothing too great. It was however $5 for a six pack so the price was very good.
