3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark brown with touch of amber at the edges of the class. A little hazy.
Nose resembles tea, herbs, and mild spices.
On the palate the maltiness is notable, as is the thyme and an overall sweetness with some citrus. Again, a tea flavor is present, maybe an herbal tea.
Finishe leaves a taste like a dry wood stick in your mouth, but not in a bad way necessarily.

RnH: Extreme Winter: Pours deep marroon leaving a thin off white head. The nose was great, especially in the snifter... loads of roasted malts, bright fruits, mild citrus and some sugars. Taste was very nice, complex. More fruits, clove and banana, deep sugars. The body was easy, very drinkable. Nice brew.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle/750 - Poured a very dark amber in color with a small tan head. Quite a bit of "stuff" floating in the beer. No lacing from the head. Aroma is spicy with plenty of fruity esters and little evidence of the hops. Flavor is flavor is *very* fruity with a heavy amount of "berriness", almost to the point that you would suspect them adding a bit of cherry juice. Hops add some bitterness to balance. I liked this one...
