bottle. clear amber with a small white head. malty nose with sweet toffee and nuts. light to medium body. flavors are malty for the most part but there is a lot of hops in there. much more than the aroma would suggest anyway. like a hoppy brown ale i suppose. no idea what spices are in here.

Fruity and caramel, with a fair mixture of malts and hops. Spice and toffee, a little sweet, strong alcohol overtaste.

Bottle... Poured reddish amber with a bubbly, white head. Pretty straight forward amber-like ale here. Some dominant malt grains, citrus hop spiciness and bitterness. Some dark sugary malts qualities too that meshed with a hint of nutmeg.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle, says "Enoy by: 1/25/12". Clear copper color, minimal off white head, some lace. Spice-heavy aroma. Beets, maybe a bit of mint. Definitely the caramel malt, maybe molasses. Little hops. Taste is a mild malty bitterness, predominantly spiciness overall. Good, crisp carbonation and texture. Overall, the flavor is interesting, but it’s a bit too heavy on the spice side to be drinkable for me. Maybe this would be better with a hearty winter dish of some sort, or if it was enjoyed straight from the bottle while in a hot tub in the middle of a snowstorm.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma is mild with pear, cinnamon, and caramel. Pours clear iced tea color with a modest head. Tastes sweet with hints of allspice and cinnamon with a nice malt backbone. Pleasant but not special.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From notes: pours clear red-amber with a 2-finger light tan head. Aroma was mildly hoppy with some yeast and a touch of caramel. Medium-bodied with a slight oilyness. Flavor of piney hops mixed with an undertone of caramel from the malt. Really didn’t get much of the spices.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Clear brownish-red with thin off-white head and some light lacing.
Aroma: Cherry, caramel and spicy, floral English hops.
Taste: Caramel and cherry malt backbone, with some nice English hops providing a light spicy bitterness on the finish. Fairly nice balance but leans a little to the sweet side. Thankfully does not have a medicinal, metallic aftertaste, as the smell had me concerned about that.
Palate: Moderate carbonation, slightly too thin body with a semi-dry finish.
Overall: Pretty good English Strong Ale that could use a titch more body, as well as a little more hops to balance the sweetness. Still, quite enjoyable.
