Jan 22, 2008 [Bottle, thanks Guerde] Pours dark reddish amber with a nearly nonexistent beige head. Aroma is fairly sweet up front, especially shortly after pouring, alternating between a fruitiness and some maple syrup with a lot of caramel, some barley and almost a little nuttiness towards the end. Taste is fairly grainy with a bit of bitterness and barley and roasted malt in the finish. Medium mouthfeel. Good finish. One of the better Schell’s beers I’ve tried and something that would be very sessionable.

Jan 12, 2008 Picked this up at Cellars in Eagan. It has a nice strong malt backbone. It is one of the more savory beers that I have had this winter.

Jan 6, 2008 Very Smooth. This seems stronger that it is at first. The heavy aroma fades and the smooth fine mix holds up.

Jan 3, 2008 Poured from the bottle to an opaque dark brown with medium tan head that lingers well and leaves okay lacing. Nose is malty roasted nuts with hints of smoked wood, and the mouthfeel of this medium bodied beer is full and sweet. Flavor accentuates the sweet malty roasted nuts of the nose, and the finish of medium duration and slightly warming.
Alcohol could have been a tad higher for a winter warmer, but an oll round decent beer.

Dec 28, 2007 Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma - nutty sweet malt. Flavor dominated by roast malt with some notes of chocolate and caramel. Very smooth with just a touch of hop bitterness on the finish.

Oct 16, 2007 This beer has a very pleasant dark brown to black body with a medium sized tan head. The aroma is a nice blend of malt and fruity hops. The flavor is a little more malt than hops but, the hops are present with a fruity twang. A smooth and easy drinking medium bodied ale, with hints of coffee, caramel and chocolate. This is an outstanding and terrific tasting beer. Far and above the best product Schell’s turns out. Now they just need to make it a year around brew.
