Pours a brown hue with tones of amber. Nice head builds but quickly dies. Aromas of toasted malt, caramel, honey, and brown sugar. Flavors of light fruit and cherries. Rather malty with notes of honey, caramel, and darkened brown sugar. On the lighter side of medium. Unique / nice braggot.

12 oz bottle shared by Derek. Thanks! Pours a rich copper brown hue, fairly transparent with a touch of an offwhite head that dies to a ring, laces tiny. Aromas are cherries and carmelized malts, touches of caramel, honey, and a good dose of alcohol heat. A touch of wet oats, cereal grains, and toffee. Gentle warmth grows. Mellow, dry cherries and toffee. Middle is mellow sweetness, a touch thin, with growing warmth, touch of spice. more cherries, toast, carmelized malts. Linger warmth, a touch of toast, smooth vanilla. Almost a touch of Dr. Pepper. Finish is warm and spicy. Mellow, simple.

12oz bottle from winter solstice 2008..... pours a dull garnet red with a soapy ring of barely noticeable head..... aroma of sugar and fruit notes... flavors started off on a sweet note with cherries, caramel, and honey which then turns a bit tart at the finish. not sure if that was intended or not but it wasn’t bad but took me by surprise. carbonation has certainly developed in the bottle. body is somewhat thin for the style. abv hard to detect.

Bottle shared by ryan on 7/26/09: Bright copper amber with a thin ring of off-white head. Aroma of sweet toffee and a touch of light fruits and a hint of tartness. Starts with some finely dissolved carbonation and light fruits and honey sweetness along with a touch of tartness and warmth toward the finish. Not much honey character, but has some pretty good balance.
