Nice cinnamon taste.

OK. Some nutmeg and some cinnamon. Pours orange brown without much head or lacing. Typical Christmas beer, nothing special. Bottle on sale at Chevy Chase.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a dark amber body with a small off white head that dissapates quickly with barely any lacing.
The smell had cinnamon and nutmeg, some clove in the background.
The taste was sweet yet becoming balanced to some light bitterness as it warms.
The palate sat about a medium; slightly sessionable; slightly bitter aftertaste; clean, dry finish.
Overall, a decent winter warmer, nothing spectacular but would have it again.

Bottle: Pours clear, copper brown with a thick tan head. Spice aroma, nutmeg and cinnamon. Taste is spicy, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon. Light malt, cola. Mainly just spicing, but very comfortably done. Bright and cheery.

Bottle in NH. Pours clear, red-gold with a fine, creamy tan head. The nose holds pleasant wintery spices, all nutmeg and cinnamon, some bready malts, suggestions of pumpkin. Medium sweet flavor with further bread and nutmeg, faint leafy bitterness, a bit of spicy cinnamon. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish with still more nutmeg and cinnamon, some ginger bread, lightly toasted brown bread. Very tasty. A solid spiced winter beer.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 3/15/2013. Pours slightly hazy reddish copper color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big caramel, raisin, prune, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, toast, biscuit, clove, and light herbal hops. Nice aromas with good strength and solid balance; very fruity and malty, with a fair amount of spices. Taste of caramel, raisin, prune, brown sugar, cinnamon, toast, nutmeg, ginger, bread, light banana, light clove, and light herbal. No bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, dark fruits, brown sugar, cinnamon, toast, nutmeg, ginger, bread, light banana, light clove, and herbal on the finish for a bit. Solid flavor balance and complexity; a big malt backbone and light complimenting spices; with minimal cloying flavors present on the finish. A little bland on flavor as well. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied; with a very creamy and slick mouthfeel that is ok. Alcohol is fairly well hidden with a small warming present after the finish. Overall this is a decent winter warmer. Moderate spicing and big maltiness with minimal cloying; and quite smooth to drink. A fairly enjoyable offering.
