Dec 25, 2008 Very dark brown body with red hues and a rich light chocolate head. The aroma is very festive - spicy and sweet with lots of complexities. Chocolate, pie crust, some nuttiness, coffee, clove and ginger. The taste is surprisingly easy and refreshing. The spicy notes blend very well with the roasty and sweet notes. Im pretty impressed with this one, and I cant wait for more of these awesome one offs theyve been busting out. Bring it on Weyerbacher!

Jan 12, 2009 Draft - RFD. Black, thin light tan creamy head. Roasted ginger and spicy cinnamon notes ride soft swirls of dry chocolate. Intense chocolate ginger and spice flavors balance well on a soft layer of molasses and caramel. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. I like unique, and this one one certainly is just that. Well done...

Mar 7, 2009 Bottle from Capone’s sampled over X-mas 2008. Pours very deep brown with 2-finger brown head. Nose is weizenbocky, with malt, banana, spice, nutmeg, molasses, cacao powder. Complex aroma. Tastes dark malty, spicy, with nutmeg, x-mas spices, hints of molasses, brown sugar, and mild rauchy notes. This one is all over the place, and evolves over time. The finish is fruity, with fig, blackberry, and more spices. Good, but I like to call this one the Tasmanian Devil of beers.

Dec 27, 2008 Bottle from Capones. Pours out black with a small lacing brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, cinnamon, and some chocolate. Taste is complex, very smooth mouthfeel. Roasted malts, chocolate, cinnamon and ginger, definitely an interesting touch with the ginger in there. I liked it.

Dec 8, 2008 Pours a deep black with a large creamy tan head that left wonderful lacing down the side of the glass. What a great looking stout. Aroma of cinnamon and ginger up front, chocolate, light roast, some honey notes, vanilla, nuts and caramel. Flavor of the cinnamon and ginger again up front. Milk chocolate, nuts, caramel, light roast, spices kind of coat the tongue. I have never been a fan of ginger in beers and while it is not overpowering in this beer, it is there. Would think some vanilla bean and cinnamon would have worked out better in this one.
