Better than I expected....Pours dark brown with no head or lacing. Rich, roasted, cocoa flavor with noticeable cinnamon. It’s really well balanced and sort of sweet. Finish is dry and lingering.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Excellent aroma. Deep roasted chicolate with rich vanilla. Bitter finish. Lighter maple brown coloring is deceiving as this is a strong, robust beer. 2012 was a very good year for Terrapin’s Renunion ale.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
22oz bottle. Deep brown black body, thinnish beige head. Pleasant vanilla-cinnamon-chocolate aroma. Rich, but quite drinkable, with a pronounced vanilla and cocoa nib edge. Smooth on the palate, quite a well executed offering. Big flavors, lots of depth, but not a mess at all, well balanced and concise. Good stuff!
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught. Pours a clear amber color with a small head on it. I found it to be a little bit spicy, like something you would get in gingerbread. Was fairly smooth, I though.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours dark brown without much of a head and very light lacing. Overall more subdued, in a good way, than the Schmaltz version. Very mild, stark, but well-blended blend of cinnamon, vanilla, and cocoa. Very sweet and malty that makes it very stout like.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is nutty, cocoa with a strong whiff of cinnamon. Flavor is roast chocolate with a small bite of cinnamon. It’s kind of like a light hot chocolate with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. In beer form of course. Pretty enjoyable, though I think it could use a little more body to round out the flavors, finish it just a little thin. Still, nice take on last year’s spicier version.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
I liked this one best from Terrapin. Their description is spot on. Cocoa and vanilla with notes of roast and connamon. The finish was dry and sweet and well blended. I enjoyed it.
