Dec 7, 2009 Bottle from Sam’s. Better than expected. Essentially a malty dark brown ale with some roasty notes and mild spice... nothing too dominant or pronounced on the spice front, which is a good thing. Mild cinnamon, vanilla, and mace. Some hop presence. Solid.

Dec 6, 2009 enjoyed on Tap at Chan’s Wine World in PCB, pours thin black with a medium frothy dark tan head. Aroma is peppermint, hops, licorice. The flavor is a mix of licorice and roasted malt with some spicy hops and cinnamon in the finish. Very nice and easy to drink with the alcohol well hidden.

Nov 19, 2009 Medium aroma of coffee, caramel, nuts and nutmeg. Pours black with almost no lacing. Strong sweet flavors, balanced with spice, roasted nuts vanilla and lite bitterness. Mouthfeel is balanced--not too creamy, not too acidic--with long finish

Nov 12, 2009 On tap. Pours dark brown with red around the edges. The aroma is chocolate with a hint of spice. The flavor is big chocolate and a bit of spice with a touch of sour and roast hanging in the back. After awhile some hop comes out too, actually. I’m sensing a bit of coconut in there too, actually.

Nov 3, 2009 Had this outside ATL on my trip last week. Very good, heavy, chewy, flavorful brew that reminded me of an old favorite: Bethlehem Brew Works Rudolph’s Reserve. Actually found this at Walmart. Big thumbs up, wish I could get more in CLT.
