Feb 26, 2006 Bottle. Pours a deeper copper with almost no head. Scents of sweet malt. Piney and resiny, sort of a very mellowed hop flavor. Somewhat sweet, but certainly not cloying. It was very smooth with a dry finish. I enjoyed this one. A gift from Beervana.

Feb 20, 2006 I think I must have had PMS, because I got almost entirely chocolate from this beer. The aroma was Chocolate Truffles, the flavor was somewhere between cocoa and a chocolate soda. It was a light brown, like cloudy tea and the finish was metallic. I enjoyed all the chocolate, but no one else seems to have noticed it.

Feb 20, 2006 Pours copper and incredibly dense with particulate with no real head. Aromas start sour and vegetal with light roast. The scent that was predominant to me was that of raspberry syrup. Light pine shows through, but not hoppy like we’d see in a good IPA. Texture was thinly syrupy with a fruity, malted flavor... the raspberry again making an appearance. I don’t think this came off as they planned, but it was still pretty good.

Feb 17, 2006 Beer pours a clear, dark, caramel-brown color with an average, frothy, tan, mostly and quickly diminishing head. The aroma is winning. Sweet with juicy notes of stone fruits, sherry, winter spices, vanilla and a trace of black tea. The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately bitter, with an average-length, lightly sweet, lightly acidic finish. The palate is nice: the body is medium-to-full, the texture is pure velvet, the carbonation is average and there’s a faint alcoholic feeling in the finish. I would seek this beer out again, for sure.

Feb 16, 2006 Bottle pours a dark amber with a light white head. A flowery aroma and mellow spicey flavor, dominated by malt. Medium-bodied, with an encroaching alcohol presence. A beer worth exploring a few times!

Feb 4, 2006 Copper-coloured with a small off-white head.Sweet and intensely spicy (pine?) aroma. Flavours are predominantly sweet caramel, and the pine adds bubblegum-like flavours. Moderately dry finish. Full-bodied. An very interesting ale.

Jan 31, 2006 Bottled. Nut brown colour with full, fluffy, tan brown head. Hoppy, pine needle aroma and flavour. Interesting blend of flavours I thought. More complex then your average brew with interesting, varied and long palate.
