Sep 12, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy with floating yeast chunks brown colored body. The aroma was spicy and herb. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The good flavor contained notes of somewhat subdued spices and brown malt. An OK brew just nothing special.

Aug 25, 2009 Pours a dark cloudy ruby/ chestnut brown color with a thick, foamy tan head. Spicy peppery aroma with lots of dark fruit, candi sugar and nut. Very spicy and quite different tasting. Very peppery wirth dark fruit notes as well as some sweet candi sugar and a slightly bitter hop finish that is quite dry. Similar to an Xmas ale with an odd aftertaste.

Jun 21, 2009 Ambrat di colore con discreta e persistente schiuma questa piemontese...aroma dolce e speziato di zenzero,forse un pò acido.In bocca è altrettanto speziata con richiami forse di the orientali.Ben bilanciata.Discreta.

Apr 22, 2009 On tap at OBriens, ruby orange with no head, fairly spiced and thick malt aroma, taste is like a sweet, malty, rich saison, medium-bodied with low carb and some warming heat, an interesting variant that suffers from lack of balance.

Mar 26, 2009 On tap at the Ginger Man, NYC. Definitely spicy with almost a rum drink look and taste. Perhaps undercarbonated (or an underpressure keg).. a good "food" beer but I couldn’t imagine how long it would take me to drink a whole pint.
