Pours a cloudy light amber into the glass, with a soapy eggshell head that diminishes to a thin ring, leaving light spiderweb lace. To the nose, I get Christmas spices, banana and yeast... reminiscent of a spiced banana bread. Sweet malt (just this side of candied) hits upfront, with a lightly retentive alcohol burn to the side-palate. It’s mostly sweet honey grains, bananas and spices, save for an attempt at doughy yeast toward the mid-palate (albeit muddy). The finish simply closes on an alcoholic burn. Not the most complex brew I’ve had, but with a round mouthfeel and syrupy texture, it drinks ok for a heavy brew.

Dec 14, 2009 Pours mahogany with very little froth. Smells like a fruitcake to me, wife says apricot cobbler. Full nectar with creamy effers. Sweet and medicinal with shades of baked bread, raisins, dates, plumbs, banana, kiwi. A sense of acid tries to balance but the sweetness overcomes.

Dec 11, 2009 Bottle. Slightly hazed copper with a short, slightly off-white, head. Aroma is perfumey and resinous with flowers and citrus peels atop candied fruit, honey, and sweet malt. Taste is very sweet malts, candied fruit, wheat/grains, alcohol, light citrus and melon, and honey. Body is thick, syrupy and sticky with light carbonation. Strong alcohol warmth as well. Not abusively hot, though. Ends with more honey, sweet malts, candied fruit, fermented fruit, and grains. Not too bad but messy in spots.
