Dec 16, 2008 Pours mahogany into a trappist glass. Head quickly recedes to form large bubbles on the surface. Dark caramel and pit fruit aromas. Sweet upfront with dark pit fruits, turning fizzy and resiny, dry hop in the finish.

Dec 8, 2008 Bottle thanks to John. Clear chestnut-colored pour with big off-white head. Slightly buttery, malty caramel nose; slightly roasty. Sour metallic notes on the palate. More caramel, some light spice. Confusing to my palate. Odd.

Dec 5, 2008 12oz. Bottle: Aroma of an older airplane. Smells of malts, roasting, chocolate, burnt coffee, slight ringwood yeast, slight butter, and a USAirways stewardess. Poured deep amber/copper in color with a small, dense, beige head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Tiny lacing. Flavor is lightly bitter. Tastes of malts, chocolate, roasting, light smoke, light burnt coffee, slight brown sugar, slight toffee, caramel, and slight fruit. Light to medium body. Average texture. Soft to average carbonation. Roasty, malty, buttery finish.

Dec 4, 2008 Bottle. Malty aroma, with some sweetness. Reddish amber body, light brown head. Flavor is pleasantly complex, malts, fruits, and nuts. Finish is a little weird. Not bad for a Shipyard product.

Nov 20, 2008 Fairly dark clear amber pour. Cream head. Malty aroma, sweet and roast, some spice. Surprisingly solid medium body. Malty, caramel/toffee with nice spice and christmas sugar cookie accents. Not as much hop presence as some Christmas ales, which I found nice. Clean finishing and very drinkable. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with this and was pleasantly surprised.

Nov 19, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy dark amber with a moderate linen white head that lasted until the end of the glass and left partial lace. Pleasant aroma of malt and just a bit of spice. The flavor is malt with some sweeteness and again just a bit of spice. Some moderate hops at the finish. Medium bodied. I’d have to look back, but off-hand I’d say this is one of the better offerings I’ve had from Shipyard.

Oct 19, 2008 (bottle - 12 oz) Deep red pour with a puffy tan head. Aroma is a mixture of sweet caramel malts and a touch of hops. Some fruit in the aroma as well. Flavor is very hoppy at the beginning with a light malt backbone and a bitter finish. Not really expecting all the hops.
