On tap at Dragonmead. Pours clear amber with a white head. Ginger in the aroma. Flavors of ginger, spruce, and toasty malt. Nice.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 11/6/2014. Pours hazy deep ruby red/brown color with a 2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big caramel, brown sugar, toast, light chocolate, raisin, plum, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, orange peel, wood, and herbal/spice earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt, spices, and fruity yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, toast, light chocolate, raisin, plum, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, orange peel, wood, and herbal/spice earthiness. Light spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, toast, light chocolate, raisin, plum, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, orange peel, and herbal/spice earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice robustness and complexity of dark/bready malt, spices, and fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/spice balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and lightly creamy/bready/chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice spiced dark ale style. All around good balance, robustness, and complexity of dark/bready malt, spices, and fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Winter 2003 on tap. Light fruit aromas in the aroma - brown pear, sweet cherry, maybe some allspice. Pours an almost-translucent mahogany brown, some deeper reds in there as well. Begins with a lightly sweet fruity malt. Some clove makes itself known throughout the beer and the finish has a touch of mild hops. Texture is mainly smooth and watery, but some brown sugar graininess right away. Alcohol not detectable, moderately carbonated, very clean and sweet, but not challenging at all. Good if you are looking for a light, sweet, beer. Reminded me of a toned down Old Fezziweg. Almost no head, decent lacing.
