Jul 4, 2009 On tap at the brewery. A nice amber color with a really interesting spiced malt that makes it very attractive. This is a nicely done winter lager. The malts and spices are really well balanced

Jun 1, 2009 I had this beer at the brewery. Very spicy aroma as well as taste, lighter-bodied than it looks. I probably would have enjoyed this beer more if I was holed up inside on a snowy day.

Dec 1, 2008 Pours a dark deep amber in coroation smalls heavy of malt and spice. I have to diagree with boto the spices seems too be pretty overpowering, but then again for a winter style beer it puts harpoon winter warmer too shame.

Nov 29, 2008 Growler from the Brewery: This one pours a clear, ruby tinged dark amber color. There was a pretty decent tan head on it, but it subsides quickly. There is a nice aroma to it. The spices are up front, but not overpowering. The spices seem to be those that would be in an apple pie, plus a bit of oatmeal. Caramel malts also. The taste is good also. Spices are there, but not overdone. Some oatmeal and biscuity flavors also. A good malt body, but just a hint of sweetness. Nice brew.
