Well balanced, with just the right amount of chocolate malts.

UPDATED: JAN 19, 2004 Mar 2002 Bottled. Very dark brown, yet transparent color; medium, stable head. Aroma somewhat weak, but with interesting characteristics of bitter herbs and caramel. Flavor chocolaty and hoppy, with quite bitter, long finish. Body a little thin. Not as good as the brewer's Double Bag, but recommendable. Jan 2004 Marginally less interesting; starts out reasonably well, but where's the body? Wateriness is only good for ... water.

Bottle. Pours copper with a short beigh head. Aroma of faint caramel and light citrus. Flavor was sweet and malty with caramel, mild hops and had a touch of nuts

Bottle purchased in South Burlington, labelled "Jay Peak Tram Ale". Clear amber pour with a small off white head. Sweet caramelly aroma. Malty flavor, sweet caramel. Not really balanced with hops, mostly chewy malts. Pleasant, good session beer.

Bottle brought back by a traveling neighbor (as "Jay Peak Tram Ale"). This brew is a clear dark amber color with a thin and foamy beige head that dissipates slowly. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of sweet toffee and malt. Light, clean body with sweet grainy malt, caramel and fruit flavors. Very little hops are detected. The finish is sweet with caramel malt lingering in the aftertaste. Pretty average overall.

Pours red with a thin tan head. Smells of citrus, chewable vitamins, earthy. Tastes the same. A decent beer after skiing all day.

Bottle shared by jcwattsrugger, thanks John. Poured an orange/red body with a small foamy of white head. Aroma of bad chocolate, veggies, hint of glue and wet bread. Flavor is earthy, dirty, chocolate, bad oranges. The body is thinner and watery with soft carbonation. Blah.
