schm1005 (150), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Jan 8, 2003 Deep amber in color with reddish highlights and a consistent but small head. Low hop aroma, mostly malt flavor with a compliment of hops. This is not the best winter warmer ever but it holds its own.
argo0 (6289), Washington DC, USA Jul 26, 2005 (draft, Rose and Raindrop, Portland) Clear copper body with off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, prune/raisin. caramel, scotch. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, grapefruit, some raisin. Medium-full body, some stickiness. herbstress3 (221), Bellingham, Washington, USA Jan 13, 2003 Malty and very sweet. Great copper coor, small head. Very easy to drink- pretty enjoyable. Merc (313), Pullman, Washington, USA Jan 5, 2003 CASK CONDITIONED. I was holiday shopping, which usually makes me rather pissy, and decided I needed food or else I would end up harming someone, so stopped for a sandwitch at the bar and saw this on tap. Of course, being a complete sucker for a cask conditioned beer, I could not resist. Thank goodness too. Fantastically balanced. Roasted and nutty. Apparent but pleasing alcohol. Crit (2258), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Jan 5, 2003 Reddish brown with fast fading head.Nutty malt nose.Rich nutty malt flavor with some hops in the finish. Well balanced.
