Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold color with a white head and good retention. No real lacing. Wheat aroma. Strong, bright (from the pilsner malt?) wheat base beer with a light citrus background flavor in the finish. Medium body and a long finish. An interesting mix, but not better.

Exactly what it says it is, for better or worse. As a holiday stout, you get all the normal winter warmer-esque spicing, although the nutmeg here is aggressive, to say the least. Bittersweet chocolate, cinnamon, and caramel all add to a cola-ish middle, while the finish dries out nicely with a mildly pine-dusted bitterness. But the nutmeg...gets a tad too boisterous as the pint warms, leaving me a bit torn as to rating; the beer does what it's supposed to do, but I'm not a fan of what it's doing, so...3.5 seems right.

Pears clear golden with a thick white head. Aroma of malt and grassy yeast. Taste has slightly heavily ferrous notes as well as a strong grassy element that pervades the beer. Palate has lingering citrus notes, malty sweetness, very dry. Good.

[12oz can from Total Wines, Naples, FL.] An opaque amber pour with a think white head; grapefruit aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a grapefruit taste; then an oddly metallic bitterness to finish. Good in parts.

[12oz bottle from Total Wines, Naples, FL.] A bright copper coloured pour with a loose white head; grassy aroma with some caramel; very thin in the mouth with a burnt caramel taste and little else; and a weak and watery finish. Disappointing.

Dark pour with light brown foam. Smells like a nice Christmas drink with nutmeg and vanilla plus a hint of chocolate. Chocolate and coffee palate

[12oz bottle from Total Wines, Brea, CA.] A copper coloured pour with a dense white head; the aroma seems to be honey rather than pecans; but the nuts certainly come through in the mouth with a backbone of caramel malts; and a biscuity finish with a gentle hoppy bitterness. Enjoyable.
