12 oz. bottle from a shaker. Pours a deep amber color with a tiny, white head. Aroma is very sweet but nondescript. Taste has intertwining notes of citrus, honey, and metal. Overall a pretty decent winter beer, but not the best.

TheBeerGod (3960) - Newport News, Virginia, USA - JAN 20, 2012
Bottle. Muddy copper with a short tan ring of foam. Big malt and caramel in the nose with spice notes and floral hops. Taste is spicy hops nestled amongst chewy malt, toffee, caramel notes, soft fruit and floral hops. Body is medium with a soft, fizzy carbonation. Finishes with more spicy notes, caramel, toffee notes, malt, floral hops, citrus, and light earthiness.

BlackIPA (201) - Rochester, New York, USA - JAN 18, 2012
Pours a very cloudy amber with a head that faded quickly into a ring. I’m getting sweet malts, some smoke flavor in the nose. Very malty. Very heavy smelling. Flavor is Very malt forward with a hint of battering hops at the end. Kind of sweet. Thin mouthfeel. This is a decent beer with few flaws.

crossovert (2547) - Wisconsin, USA - JAN 10, 2012
Smells like a pale ale with some caramel. The flavor is a bit bitter, but rotten tasting. Just a foul of a beer. Tastes like hastily made brewpub fare.

Capa (1544) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 9, 2012
Deep copper with a medium head. Aroma is malty, toasted, and a bit of dark sugar. Medium to full body. Flavor has nice toasted malt, sweet, light caramel. Fits the bill for a winter ale but nothing more.

"like coors made it", thats all I could think when I was drinking this one. No imagination, no interesting take or unique flavors.

RyanK (40) - Rhode Island, USA - DEC 19, 2011
Pours a dark copper with an off white head. Smells quite malty, sweet and grainy. Taste of semi sweet hops hitting first with the sweetness then bitterness. Malt dominates giving it a more regular beer type flavor and the warming feeling. Nothing to strong or complex but another great session brew by Longtrail.

alobar (1866) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 6, 2011
Pours a dark caramel color with an off-white head. Great lacing. Aroma of brown sugar, nuts, and honey. Flavor has toasted malt, caramel, and honey. A bit sweet and light for the style, but a nice drinking beer.
