Can from Total Wines, Sterling VA. Deep brown, with a decent, off-white, head. Gentle Christmas spicing, some berry fruits, bready mlats and a moderately, bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Pour is a cola brown with a small tan head. Aroma has an ample amount of cinnamon and clove with probably some nutmeg thrown in there. Flavor is of course spice but they kind of get muddled together with a heavy and sweet malt and also a fair amount of alcohol. Finish leaves a spice with a little cocoa on the tongue. This beer gets some horrible ratings on here for some unknown reason. It is as advertised, a spiced winter beer. Maybe a bit to sweet and boozy but it still has a nice spicy flavor.

Can from Winco. A pretty solid brew, I’m sensing an English ale under the spice bouquet. Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla all present, as accents, not overdone. Solid malt body carries it well. Body a bit thin, lets see where this goes with a little warmth.

Can. Pours a dark brown with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is strong spice, raisin. Thin mouthfeel, strong spice, sweet malt, decent.

Can. Pours a clear amber with a gray head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has notes of grain and light fruits with notes of raisin and spices. Flavor has sweet grains with a bit of bread and some light spices and a bit of fruits.

Draught. Dark brown with reddish tint, small beige foamy head, nutmeg and vanilla aroma, low carbonation, burnt malt taste, thin body, longish finish with burnt aftertaste. One of those great start poor ending brews.

Can from Whole Foods Market, Bowery, New York, NY. A dark amber/brown coloured pour with a thin off white head on top. Sweet, caramel, spice aroma. Tastes similar, quite sweet, caramel, spice. Struggled to finish this one. Expected a lot more from 21st Amendment.

12oz bottle, via trade from someone awesome I’m sure, pours with a clear ruby red to amber body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up lots of spices like ginger and cinnamon and then it gets into some malty sweetness. The taste delivers firm levels of winter spices but the malts and modest degree of molasses help keep the spices from being overwhelming. Pretty nice as slivers of dark roasted malts surface here and there creating another facet to the experience. Overall for this beer the spices could be scaled back a bit to achieve improved balance and flavor harmony. Pretty nice winter beer though.

Can sample at a tasting at Mastikim. Thanks zvikar. Brown color with a beige head. Aroma of malt, caramel, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sweetish flavor, malty, a bit toasty, caramelly, a bit nutty, with some spiciness and a slightly bitter finish, a bit roasty. Medium-bodied.
