Dec 15, 2007 Pours clear brown with a medium head. Aroma is caramel, nuts and some grassy hops. Palette is lively with a good amount of carbonation. Flavor is a nice blend of sweet malt and bitter hops. Some roasted flavors are present, but there is no signs of the hazelnut mentioned in the description. Nonetheless, this is a very good beer and goes down far to easy considering its abv.

Dec 13, 2007 Poured a dark ruby with a nice little head on top. Malty dark fruit in the nose. Tastes similar, a bit of hops. Luckily I couldn’t find any hazelnut in this, not my thing. Finished a tad watery but the alcohol wasn’t anywhere to be found. Should have bought a six pack.

Dec 12, 2007 Nice malty English strong ale. Malty and richer than most English beers I’ve had. Bit of coffee and nut taste. But I did expect the typical spiced winter warmer. None of that is here. I’m a bit sorry I only had one sent to me.

Dec 9, 2007 Bottle. Delicious strong beer with the alcohol hidden well. A solid no thrills beer, and that’s why I love it.

Dec 9, 2007 Pours a dark mahogany color with a white fizzy head. Smells of nuts and a bit of roasted coffee. Taste is sweet but smokey. Actually pretty good beer but the finish is short and the taste is a bit unbalanced.
