Mar 26, 2008 Updated: Feb 2, 2009Draught. Opaque brown-tan. Aroma of pie spices and pie crust but a mild smell. body is smooth and velvety and quaffable. Flavors of allspice, mincemeat. Clean,smooth, not too heavy and not at all chewy. Nice, and much nicer than the bottle so the re-rate replaces the bottle rate.

Mar 22, 2008 2006 vintage, courtesy obsceneone. Darkish amber color, slight white head. Odd herbal aroma, almost sage-like, toasted grains, crackers. General sweet grainy taste, rich and spicy. Subtle but tasty.

Mar 16, 2008 Courtesy of obsceneone. Thank you, sir.
Think this one is a tad overrated, not nearly as good as the Donkey Punch. Disjointed, a bit watery and muted in the aroma and flavor. Felt a bit light on the palate as well. ABV is not noticeable, didn’t even know this one was almost 9%.

Feb 18, 2008 trade extra from Emacgee. Dark brown, almost black in color with a tan head. A good deal of caramel, brown sugar, and spices in the nose, with light notesof tart cherry. The taste: medium or a touch above medium bodied with caramel sweetness- with spices, light tart cherry. Finishes with lingering molasses sweetness and light spices. Pretty nice for a spiced winter ale.

Feb 12, 2008 12oz bottle, 2007 vintage, courtesy of kp. Thanks, Keith! Pours a murky, cola brown color; very light tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Slightly tart aroma upfront, followed by brown sugar and cinnamon and pleasant levels of spicing; not necessarily bretty, but more of a tart citrus or spice presence; quite nice, not overly done. Medium-to-full, nicely balanced mouthfeel: follows the aroma closely, with a slightly tart character coming from the spicing and some lightly acidic citrus; warming cinnamon, light spice, plenty of cola, and biscuity malts; nicely composed malt core; balanced winter warmer with a reserved spice character and mild tartness; tasty. Some doughiness and citrus and biscuity malts on the finish.
