More spice than ale, this one has a light brown colour with little head and that funky aroma of vegetables that you often get from the "spice/herb" department of things. The taste is too weird and spicy without any "beer" let’s say to back it up - it’s missing balance and like so many other spiced brews, lacks a good mouthfeel. I wouldn’t try it again.

The nose smells like it has too much ginger and overly spiced. The mouth shows the nose was actually much subtler than the taste. Massive ginger, nutmeg, full bodied and rich. Just way over spiced. Should be Over Spiced Reserve Ale. The nutmeg and ginger just linger on the palate. Not balanced and definitely a bit of a disaster, though not without some merit.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Hazy red mahogany color. The aroma is mild, with cinnamon, a bit soapy. Caramel flavor, with a dash of cinnamon. Strong bitterness, dry at the end, with more roasted malt. Boring.

Bottle at a tasting. Thanks David C. Almost clear amber color. Aroma of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, light ginger notes, some fruits, yeast and alcohol notes. Very spicy and rather dry flavor with clove, some nutmeg, light malt sweetness, toffee and butter hints. Medium-bodied.

At a tasting, small stable head, hazy plum red colour, aroma of cinamon nutmeg and prunes, strong malty flavour with some light spiciness, mellow bitterness and a touch of alcohol. Nice experience, love to try others of this kind.

Dark brown and a bit muddy-looking. Heavy cinnamon aroma with some vague earthy malts and a whiff of alcohol. Big spicy flavour, earthy malts and a hint of brown sugar. Spicy finish. The spice is a bit rough - not well integrated - but the malt complexity and full body in part make for that.

Bottle. Cloudy red, low brown head. Cake flavors, cinnamon, cardemom. Not much aroma though. Sweet, but pleasant balance, dry citric finish. Chewy body, good restsugar. Really nice dessert, surprisingly good.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a dark amber brown with a light head. Aroma of spices, particularly cinnamon and clove. Flavour is much the same, with the spices dominating more than anything. Decent beer, but nothing more.
