Jan 19, 2009 12oz bottle. Amber orange with a light orange head that laced the entire glass in a beautiful display. The aroma is a little muddled and has some hops that indicate lightly sweet orange, with some crackery malt as well. The flavor has toasty grain, candy sweetness and is decently hoppy in a citrus peel-lightly piney way. Medium bodied with medium bubbles. The almost resiny hops balance the sweet, fullness of the malt well.

Jan 17, 2009 330 mL. Pours a clear amber with a thin off-white head that settles down. Good lacing. Aroma of pine, resiny hops, caramel malt. Taste is hoppy and resiny, much closer to an IPA than Lucky Kat. Toss in some biscuits in there too. Finish is long and bitter. I think that Magic Hat’s offerings are just not for me.

Jan 16, 2009 12 oz. bottle pours an amber-tangerine in color with large, poufy off white head in abundance. When the head dissipates it leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is of hops, some hops and some malt. Flavor is of molasses up front with a hoppy middle and a spicy warm finish. Great winter beer and a great pairing for moderately spicy food (like a peppery pizza or pasta). Far more complex than I expected with a fantastic combination of flavors. Very versatile and could easily be a winter session beer.

Jan 14, 2009 Updated: Apr 12, 200912oz bottle. Pours a light tan head with some lacing and an amber body. Aroma is citrus hops, caramel, and biscuits. Tastes like honey biscuits, citrus and spice hops, and a big pine bitter finish.

Jan 11, 2009 Clear amber pour with a big, rocky, off-white head, and great lacing. Slightly nutty, caramel aroma with a moderate amount of pine and a hint of orange zest. Malty, faintly toasty, nutty, and biscuity flavor with a slight dose of bitter citrus at the end. Medium body.

Jan 9, 2009 Poured dark amber color with tan head that holds up through the whole glass. Produces nice lacing in the glass. Hoppy and well balanced. My favorite Magic Hat beer as well as my favorite Winte Seasonal!!!

Jan 9, 2009 Magic Hat Roxy Rolles is a deep and clear copper color with a foamy mocha head. The aroma is full of sweet malts with some light citrus and fruit flavors. I found this to mimic a historical ale more than be a true winter brew. Not very dark with heavy malts, instead this is an above average abv beer with a light, good consistency.
