Nov 29, 2009 50 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA via Winnipeg. Slightly hazy deep amber colour. Sweet raisin, banana, toffee and vanilla aroma. Banana and vanilla dominate the first sip, the banana is right on as described, less of the xmas cake and pies mentioned in the description. For a true winter warmer could use more depth, and less full bodied than I’d like for this time of year as well.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle from LCBO, labelled at 5% abv rather than 6% as mentionned in this description. Dark amber with a thin off white foamy head. Poor retention and average lacing. Aroma is sweet malt and toasted malt with caramel, cherries, spices and a bit of wood. Pretty subtle aroma, not as bold as I expected. Flavor is fruity with sweet malt, caramel and a bit of spices. Thin body for the style.

Nov 18, 2009 Rather disappointed in this beer. Aroma is non-existent. Colour is orange amber with slightly off white head. Taste is fairly bland. Some spice and malt in the taste. With the flavours coming out mostly in the aftertaste the initial mouthfeel is non existent. Overall this beer is lackluster and I really won’t revisit this next year.

Nov 4, 2009 Aroma is sweet and spicy, banana bread comes to mind. Ruby red, with quickly fleeting white head. Flavour is fairly sweet with some banana flavour, but the big flavour up front is lots of malt with some bitterness. Mouthfeel is decent with hardly any carbonation. Overall pretty good but not a wow beer.

Oct 3, 2009 Bottle.
Medium brown color with orange tones. Tall, off-white head. Highly fragrant of fruit, spices including cinnamon, amber malts, and hops. A touch of honey as well. Sweetish aroma. Sweet, malty flavor, lots of dark fruits, cinnamon, honey, and vanilla. Rich and malty. Orange, cherry, raisins, figs. Quite bitter finish, though not with really any hop flavor. A touch of alcohol there too, but a dry, bitter end. Very interesting shift from rich and sweet to bitter. Full flavored and interesting, though you couldn’t drink too much. A tad cloying.
