Jan 5, 2001 What a great winter ale! Deep crystal clear garnet color. Almost looks like a bordeaux when held up to the light. Lots of dark roasted malt and spicy hops in the nose. Moderate body and smooth texture. Pleasant balance of sweetness and the hop bitterness on the palate and in the finish. Very well done!

Feb 6, 2002 Almost like it cahanges flavor over the taste, from fruitty to barley, to malty, to spicy.

Sep 20, 2003 Big malt/hop aroma. Thick rocky head, dark ruby color. Slightly hop dominated flavor but with great fullness and a subtle ginger spiciness. Dry malt finish.

May 24, 2001 Bitterness dominates at first, although closer look reveals sweet malt and creaminess. Bitter aftertaste complemented by chocolate malt and fruit. Irritating label.
