Jun 10, 2004 Updated: Oct 25, 2004Pours a darker brown color with a nice off-white head. Sweet malty hop aroma. Taste carries the malty hop balance through very well and ends slightly bitter. Nice caramel taste, with some nice spice, and has a nice smooth mouthfeel. Kinda overwhelming bitterness towards the end in my opinion.

Apr 24, 2004 EXACTLY like Full Sail's Wassail Ale, but more expensive.
Coca-cola colored, no head, medium fizz. Smells a bit like grapes and chocolate. A great balance of hops and malt. Bitter aftertaste lasts just the right amount of time. I'd gladly drink this beer all year long. It's all about the balance!

Apr 9, 2004 slightly cloudy mahogany color, nice thick white head, candy, yeast, malty, earthy, nicely hopped – pine, hints of grapefruit, toasty – caramel; flavor is good, well-hopped, pine and grapefruit, malty, a bit sweet, some fruit, decent texture, a good beer but nothing extraordinary

Apr 3, 2004 Bottle. (Thanks Mike!)
Dark brown in color with a frothy tan head that strangled the glass with bands of Brussels Lace.
Nose is nutty, malty, with citrus, clove, cinnamon hints.
mouthfeel is nice and full. Hard-edged hop character with grassy, piney acids. Malt solid in background, caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.
Finish is moderate dry.

Mar 1, 2004 Mild spice, caramel, fruit and sweetness make this a nice treat. Very mild with a smooth finish.
