Sampled at the Pizza Port 2003 Strong Ale Fest. A medium brown amber color. Medium white foamy head. Aroma is malty and sweet with touches of oranges. A medium bodied American Strong Ale. Malts are nutty and fruity. Hops are slightly spicy. Nice blend of fruit flavors and spiciness. Well balanced. This is a very subtly crafted, tasty Christmas beer. Very slight alcohol bite. Mouthfeel is full and round, Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is bitter.

Serving type: bottle

Sampled @ Strong Ale Fest San Diego

The beer poured a translucent brown with a smallish head that was frothy and light tan in color, the lace a decent covering upon the glass. Nose sweet malt and hints of caramel, quite pleasant with the start thickly malted and sweet, top middling in feel. The finish has a stern acidity and the hops majestic in their spiciness, quite dry and lingering aftertaste, a quite nice deer that I sampled a few times to get a handle on.

Serving type: on-tap
