Nov 13, 2002 Updated: Nov 11, 2005Just the thing to warm the belly on a cool evening. Slightly malty aroma. Dark copper color, with a beige head. The pint-sized bottles were a good size, but it’s nice to see it in 6 pack 341ml bottles for the 2003 season.

Nov 12, 2002 Nice deep red-brown. Solid tan head. Mild hop in aroma. Mot much nose. Is there such a thing as a dry nose? Because that’s how I would describe this. Mild flavors. Not as good as I had remembered. Perhaps in the nine years they’ve been perfecting this, it’s slacked off somewhat. Or maybe it’s just me....

Nov 10, 2002 Updated: Feb 13, 2003Nice ruby-brown colour with moderate head. Smoky malt in the aroma, and in the flavour where it is joined by some licorice and sweet toffee notes. Dry finish. A nice treat as the weather begins to chill.

Oct 30, 2002 Updated: Nov 5, 2003Re-rate: Perfect head with slight brown, good last. Bottle colour. Sweet, malty nose... chocolatety, gentle sweet malt. Good mouthfeel, lasting roasty bitter finish. Not as nice as I remember.
------� watery/sweet start, moves into deep, but fairly simple chocolate flavour (caramel on the side), then a good heft of malty goodness at the end. Good stuff but not so complex. Tastes *young*, the flavours being somewhat raw, unmellowed.

Oct 22, 2002 Dark red/auburn, light head. Faint malty , hayish, notes of fruit and hops in the nose. The body is sweet with a bitter-sweet malt note. Good hops, notes of licorice and a touch of hops. Nice bock.

Oct 19, 2002 Brownish, with relatively small head, not bad aroma, simple. Flavour was the strongest part of that brew, not to bitter but nice.
