Oct 14, 2009 Bottle, 22 fl. oz. Pours a brown beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is hops, caramel, sweetness and alcohol. The flavor is caramel. The palate leaves some warmth from the alcohol. Overall an average beer.

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle pours dark copper with a khaki colored head. Nose is heavy in caramel and brown sugar with notes of pink grapefruit. Flavor is sweet caramel, earthy hops, and vinous fruit. Maybe just a tad too sweet, but not so much that it’s off-putting.

Oct 11, 2009 pours an opaque reddish brown with a thin light tan head. aroma is super sweet...fruity hops...some pineapple and spruce. also caramel or toffee notes. flavor has loads of caramel malt and some piney, earthy hops with sweet, sticky citrus and fruitiness in the end. smooth creamy mouthfeel with a sweet piney lingering finish. pretty nice beer...id definitely drink it again though it is a tad sweet.
