Dec 26, 2009 Bottle. 22 oz. Split with Vin. Pours a beautiful chesnt with a two finger beige head. Aroma of ginger, cinnamon, juniper, oak, yeast, bread, oats, and corriander. The mouthfeel is amazing; slightly sticky, yet still smooth and easygoing. The finish is slow and a bit numbing under the tongue, with a great warming. Overall, this is probably the best Christmas brew I have ever sampled. Excellent brew.

Dec 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours cloudy dark brown with huge tan head that settles. Aroma of licorice and various spices - ginger nutmeg and others, also noticeable pumpkin. Taste is different than you would expect - in a good way. Lots of malt depth but also good amount of hops that I did not detect in the smell, also some light coffee notes.
