Nov 30, 2008 This is my choice for best Seasonal Beer in 2008. Had first at 3 Sons then bought a case from local Distributor. Highly recommended. Deep Ruby color, with modest head that does not hold but nice lacing. Only a faint malt odor but huge flavor with some grass, spice initial tastes , sweet but not too sweet.

Nov 29, 2008 Updated: Nov 30, 2008Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a medium tan head. Floral hop aroma with caramel and chocolate. Good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet malt with a dry finish. A good American strong ale from breckenridge.

Nov 27, 2008 12oz. bottle served in a shaker pint. Poured a clear brown with a finger of off white head. Aroma of caramel malt with some piney hops. Medium bodied on the malty side. Some chocolate malt. A pretty good amount of hop bitterness. Not very memorable, but fairly drinkable.

Nov 27, 2008 12 oz bottle. Deep brown toffee color with a hint of orange. Pungent toffee aroma. Watery mouthfeel, low carbonation. Lots of caramel malt flavors, somewhat like an uninspired Dunkel. Lacks hop balance. Probably better fresh and on draft.
