Reddish brown brew ,tannish brown head.Nose is almost like a belgian strong ale.Strong aromas of dark fruits and roasted malts,very nice.This was a little cold at first and I was let down but after it had a chance to warm the flavor took on a major transformation.Dark fruit,ripe dates and cherries.Then the raosted malts came in changing the feel on the tongue.Indiana_Red,u da man.

Pours dark copper with little head. Aroma is chocolate with some hops and alcohol. Sweet with choclate, some caramel, toasted malts, with little hops and alcohol burn. Creamy feel, nice aftertaste. Overall an exceptional winter ale.

2004 draught pint at Redbones. Wonderful deep red with dark brown tinges, quite transluscent with a small off-white head. Smells of sweet malt, light spicing (cinnamon) and lightly spicy hops that are very fresh. Flavor starts out sweet and spicy with the hops being present but not bitter, just fresh and spicy. Light toffee and toasted malt, sweet caramel and molasses on the finish with more herbal hops-like flavor. Full bodied and delicious with a smooth, creamy consistency and very low carbonation. Beautiful! 8/5/8/4/17

2005 draught pint at Redbones. More crystal malt heavy with that profound hardness and a thick sugariness as well. Cherries, tangerines and bitter oranges crowd the palate and seem at odds with the (rather acidic) roasty/toasty malts. Seemed rather jumbled and in the end it goes from a bit too sweet, to too bitter without much room for in between. Though there certainly is no skimping on ingredients and the overall texture was about the same as last year. Rating is an average. 8/4/7/3/14

Foamy tan head on a clear amber/orange body. Sweet malt and bitter hop in the aroma with a nice roasted tone and light spices. Rather mild but nice and inviting. Flavor is a little thin but tasty. Sweet caramelly with hoppy tones and notes of chocolate and toffee.

Pours out nice dark brown color with a head. Nice roasted flavor, kinda hoppy, warmth finish. Perfect for cold winter day.

Jubelale pours a dark reddish brown with a brown head that quickly goes to a film.

Its aroma is sweet figgy chocolate with a little bitterness and molasses.

The flavor is roasted malts with some figs and chocolate and spices. It has a nice bitter finish that balances it well. The mouthfeel is very smooth and creamy, but a little acidic.

Overall, a very fine winter seasonal with some nice alcohol warming. Reminds me of Great Divide’s Hibernation Ale.

Pours a dark brown with medium sized tan head. Aroma of cherries, malt, oranges. Flavor is strong, malty warming feel. Alcohol is there in the finish. Overall a very tasty winter warming beer. Thanks to Indiana Red for this tasty one!

Very deep amber in color. Aroma is sweet, roasty and malty. Flavor is fairly hoppy. Finish provides a roasty malt taste. Interesting combination of the hops and the roastiness.
