Sample at Winterfest. From notes. A nice looking redish pour. Slight head. No lacing. Weak nose. Some really nice flavors, but an odd burnt sugar finish.

arminjewell (2445) - Parker, Colorado, USA - FEB 20, 2011
Pours dark reddish orange, thin to no white head. What a unique aroma and flavor, notes of oak, toasted bread, dark fruit, some sugar, and a touch of vanilla, almond, and other sugars. Very sweet, complex, and delicious.

Tripplebrew (714) - Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA - MAR 9, 2009
Pours a cloudy orange amber with some white head. Aroma is extremely nutty with heavy sugar caramel and alcohol notes. Flavor is smooth like almond paste, vanilla. Body is creamy but seemingly flat.

JK (3400) - Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - OCT 12, 2008
McCann did a great job at ABR 2008, this beer included. Sweet malt, with lightly roasted malt in the flavor as well as sugar and fruit, and swet malt in the flavor with vanilla, and wood. Very sweet, with candy sugar and according to the description, other sugars as well.

Skyview (4739) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - OCT 3, 2008
One of my favorites during the ABR ’08 in Minneapolis, MN. Served on draught and pours a semi-clear amber brew with a thick off-white head that has excellent retention and lots of lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel, raisins, some candi sugar, vanilla and some light creme tartar. Taste is full bodied, a little syrupy, with flavors of sweet apples, caramel malt, some light cotton candy, and some vanilla. Finish has a nice sweet alcohol warmth and bite that will warm up any cool autumn night. Uuf da! Goot ’n strong best describe this special beer.

badgerben (4092) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - SEP 30, 2008
Autumn Brew Review 2008. Copper color with a medium head. Light oak aroma. Big caramelly malt flavor, plenty of toast and some biscuit notes. Oak and vanilla. Strong, sweet malt. Maybe a bit too much sweetness, but really tasty.

grimreeser (797) - Minnesota, USA - SEP 29, 2008
ABR 2008. A hazy light amber with a nice head. Aroma of caramel, raisins, and oak. Nice sweet flavor, a bit of an alcohol bite at the end.
