Brownish-orange body; thin, fizzy head. Strong pine sap aroma. Black licorice and anise flavors; ginger; banana; brown sugar and cinnamon; flat sweetness overall. Medium body yet feels thin and watery; rather sweet finish.
A fair yet middling holiday ale. There's a lot of good aroma and interesting taste yet the appearance and mouthfeel are pretty weak. The overall residual sugars and resulting sweetness also border on being treacly. It's worth a try.

Dirty brownish orange with a finger of light tan foam. The nose is spruce and orange, clove and cinnamon, and toasted almonds. Tastes are malt, dried apricots, rye bread, and molasses. The finish is oddly sweet and dry. This is kind of watery but sticky like Koolaid. This beer seemed to be a mish-mash of flavors that never did meld.

Copper hued with vibrant carbonation. Brussels lacing. A quarter inch of off white head rests on top. Aroma of ginger and perhaps lemon is detectable. The taste is comprised of light malt and ginger. The body is creamy and thick.

2014 version... A spicy, hearty, higher-alcohol winter warmer is just what the doctor ordered when a snowstorm moves into the area. Done and done. They go through this stuff very quickly on tap, but luckily I was able to get a 1/2 liter bottle at my table (usually they just sell these to-go), so all was good. Glad I finally managed to get my hands on this beer.

Deep amber-orange color with thin one-finger foamy head. Lacing is missing...
The nose on this one is pure Christmas. Tons of spruce pine, spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel, fig, spicy!!! Amazing complexity; nearly too much to handle.
Pine, nuts, grape, berry, cinnamon, creamy fizzy carbonation, well placed back-end sweetness is light yet pronounced.
If Christmas had a flavor, this beer would be it! It's nailed and goes much appreciated. Tons of smooth spice. For being an absolute spice bomb, it's done well and is very drinkable for what it is. Nice work B&B!
