Pours dark amber. Aroma and flavour is cinnamon and nutmeg, and various other spices. Not bad.

A big ol 1 Liter flip top Labeled with Winter Ale. Pours out a brown with some red highs topped with a small head. Aroma was of sweet spice and ginger bread cookies. Taste was more of the spice some nutmeg, and cinnamon along with sweet molasses. A tasty winter brew thanks Matt.

Bought as a bottle in BC awhile back. Good tasting beer and I bought it specifically for the alcohol kick, which was significant in the one-litre bottle. Kind of a darker ale and not nearly as complex as one would hope from this style, however.

bottle. Red orange, creamy head. Fruity notes (peach, apple ) Christmas spices. Mellow sparkly mouthfeel. Not entirely harmonic, but nice enough.

WOW!! What a waste of 10 bucks!! An unattractive beer with head fading to nothing immediately. Has a light pumpkin pie spice nose and taste , a few hops in the finish. Lifeless and seriously lacking in carbonation. A piss poor effort

On tap at the brewery. Golden-brown colour. Malty nose (brown sugar) with light spiciness and a hint of fruit. Very spicy palate (cinnamon) with light brown sugar maltiness and hints of fruit. The finish has a splash of alcohol and again more of that subtle, hard-to-place fruit.
