4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Oh what a beautiful beer. Deep mahogany with a creamy tan head that laces down the side of my glass. The aroma is sweet and nutty with a touch of pine. The initial flavor is sweet, typical of a great Old Ale, but then finishes with a light hoppiness. I love the alcohol rush that accompanies this beer, much like a great, rich wine. It is a very relaxing beer and very drinkable. On my Twelve Beers of Christmas 2004 List! Bottle

Nice auburn color with medium head when poured. Smells malty but pleasant. Smooth, slightly sweet, creamy taste that leaves you with a tart spicy aftertaste. Reminds me of nutmeg or ginger. I really enjoyed this and IMHO it was just as good as some beers costing 2-3 tmes the price.

The bottle says it all...’Yeah it is" when reffering to the alcohol percent, 8%. Has a dark brown color with a well rounded taste with hints of a sweet coffee taste. Finishes well and is rather palatable.

Forgot how good this was, got one out of the cellar, about a year and a half of age on it. Very roasty malt aroma and flavor, hints of marshmellow and nutty, slighty sweet finish. Thats is all, have a good night.
