Dec 26, 2008 2007 bottle. Pours amber with quite a head. A little heavy on the carbonation, probably due to the age. Very good for a Christmas-style beer. Not overpowering by way of spices nice and malty, minimal hops.

Dec 23, 2008 A deep amber red ale, pours with a small, (less than one finger) head. Lots of deep dark, almost jammy fruits on the nose. Certainly suggests sweetness to follow.
On the palate, the Sly Fox certainly lives up to what it suggests on the nose. Sweet, lots of dark fruit. Malts quite prevalent here, but not with an overwhelming, hit you in the face variety. Lots of cloves and cinnamon in there as well. I get a bit of caramel also. Not that sweet though, as might be suggested.
Malty finish. Definitely a dessert beer.

Dec 19, 2008 2008 750 ml cork and caged version provided by msiano purchased at Wine King. Pours a deep red body with a large beige head. Aroma is loads of spices, nutmeg..clove..cinnamon to a lesser extent, orange and grapefruit juices. Interesting but not for everyone. Fuller bodied with strong carbonation and a full foamy mouthfeel. Flavor is upfront with the spices, cinnamon..clove..nutmeg, and lots of chocolate from the malts. This beer is nice for a holiday sipper but defineitely not for everyone as my wimpy brother in law proved by not being able to finish a 7 oz sample

Dec 18, 2008 2006 750 ml bottle split in Duvel glass. Dark brown with lasting head and lace. Very spicy nutmeg allspice aroma. Caramelized brown sugar dark fruit and spice spice spice, nutmeg, allspice, clove with the ginger wrapping around the mouth in the finish. Medium-thin body and medium carbo. Overspiced, to put it simply. Is there a beer under there? My tongue is telling me to fuck off.
