Pour is a dark brown with a avaerage white head. Aroma is nuts,caramel, hoppy and chocolate so far so good. Flavor is weaker with mostly bready malts being the key flavor. Its an alright amber but not somthing i would call a x-mas ale. If you are going to make an x-mas ale spice it up a notch.

bottle - Pours slightly hazy amber with a thin head. It smells of malt and a touch of spice. The flavor is mostly sweet with mild spice and some light hops that lead to an easy going dry finish. It’s alright, but generally unremarkable.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark amber color wtih a medium frothy off white head. The aroma is malt with a nuts and caramel. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is roasted malt and brown sugar. Not too much going on with this one.

Typical amber ale aroma, with something spicey besides, perhaps a bit of vanilla. Reddish copper color with a white head that rose and fell. Medium to full in body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is caramel, nutty, clove?, definitely spice things. The finish is fairly dry, and there is enough spice to balance any residual sweets. Not a lot of hop bitter. Decent drink, but not a typical highly flavored winter beast.

Medium amber and thin. The aroma is light diacetyl and some toast. Taste is toasty with some cascade toasty notes.

2007 version. Clear maroon colors with a touch of ruby. Aroma of mild permanent hair treatment. Taste is medium mild hoppy with traces of alky in the background. Reminds me of many APAs. Some odd veggie or spice tastes that cannot be identified. Medium carbonation. Leaves a rather unique aftertaste that hangs for a while after the session. Probably would not purchase again.

2006 Bottle from Beer_Hawk, Thanks! Nose is very light with a little caramel and a cinnamon note; dark copper color with a tiny beige head which quickly disappears; malty flavor with a caramel hint, but really no spiciness. I can detect a tiny amount of hops in the finish.

2006 version. Deep amber-copper body with a medium, dissipating off-white head. Sweet, cerealy aroma with grassy hops and berries. The body is lighter than I expected, cerealy and toasty, with light sweetness paired with grassy hops. Unbalanced acidity mars the palate. Would that the aroma was an indication of the body...

2005. This beer just didn’t seem to have the umph one expects in a Chritstmas/winter ale. Poured copper color with moderate head. If you work at it, you can get a nose of sweet malts and spice. These are more apparent in the flavor which yields cinnamon and nutmeg and a bit of sweetness underneath. Smooth, crisp finish with a fading bitter aftertaste. Thin going on medium body. Better Christmas ales are available.
