Dec 12, 2009 nice seasonal brew, spiced just right for the Christmas season, nutmeg, allspice, clove. Love the smell. Medium texture, cloudy red brown color... not an everyday beer, but nice for the season, especially if you want something really different. this GABF Gold medal brewer is known for skill and creativity.

Dec 28, 2005 Growler de Logan. Clear dark brown body. Sharp orange juice and dried cherry in the aroma. More grape juice in the flavor along with orange rind and bready yeast along with light coriander.

Dec 6, 2005 Nice Christmas brew. Lighter body than OSA. Flavor includes nutmeg and cinnamon. One of their more interesting brews besides the IIPA.

Oct 29, 2008 GABF 2008. Listed on the card as a brown ale, but with one sip it becomes apparent that this is more of a holiday-spice beer. Chocolate, cinnamon, mace, with a subtle raisin fruit note in the finish. Not what I expected, but a pleasant surprise in the end.

Dec 17, 2005 DenverLogan brought this. It pours to a smokey chocolatey plaintains. Spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. Almost has an eggnog like quality. Very unique and quite good. The beer is a weak looking brown color. No head. Tastes like what I suspect a Christmas wreath would taste.

Dec 19, 2005 Growler shared by DenverLogan. Slightly hazy chocolate brown in color with no head, void of any movement, and potentially some yeasties. Christmas creationism in the nose, resting on nutmeg, cinnamon, gingerbread men, and liquefied brown sugar sloshed over pecans. Cherry tobacco pipe blend flavor meets halfway with Christmas spice bread. Amplified nutmeg and a late seasonal intervention manifests as pumpkin pie spice comes to call. Spicy palate dimension composed of crackled black pepper and earthen walnut dust. Dry, arid finish.
