’09 Bottle, poured out to a carmal color with a light carmal/off white head that was also on the light side for the amount of carbonation visible on the side of the glass. Smells of a nuts and sweet malt maybe a hint of some fruit somewhere. Tastes of piney hops with a side of malt. Not overpowering in either case pretty much baseline normal ale style amounts. While it’s not a horrible beer, it’s not really all that impressive but it could be far worse.

Bottle. Hazy caramel color with an off white head. Big grassy hop, grapefruit aromas. Frothy light mouthfeel. Grapefruit and pine bitter hop flavor on a thin caramel malt base.

Bottle. Dark amber brown pour, plenty of carbonation and a very sweet nutty/malty nose. Flavor is also plenty of malt, little bit of hops and a little bitter on the finish. Reminds me of some of my own homebrew.

amber pour with a small tan head. malty aroma. good but i would not call it a cold weather brew.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. poured a dark amber with a beige head. aroma was alcohol, grains, and some spice. flavor was some bitter grains. light body. it is what it isnt.

Sampled at Lundeen’s Brew Ha-Ha 2009. Pours a dark amber color with a very dense, creamy tan head. Aroma is sweet of caramel and light floral sweetness, apple, grape and MO malt toasted presence. Flavor has a strong toasted note, light chocolate and caramel malt with a grassy, floral bitterness. Low carbonation and medium body. Overall a good combination of sweet and bitter.

bottle to shaker. A very nice dark amber/red/orange color, but hardly any head, which dissipated quickly anyway. Some lacing. aroma of sweet malts and syrup. The flavor was malty and nutty, with a bit of hop bitterness. Decent taste, but no palate - too thin and dry, but very easy to drink. A good beer to drink outside during the fall.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Ruby pour with a small head. Aroma is laundry sheets, citrus. Flavor is somewhat malty.
