Nov 16, 2007 Bottle. Poured a nice chestnut red with a pretty big near brown head. Aroma is pretty milod--rost malts and only a little spice. Taste is burnt caramel malts with a little smoke flavor. Subtle spice. Finish is smooth mild smoke. Not too bad for the first winter beer I’ve had this season.

Nov 6, 2007 Bottle. I used to drink the hell out of this beer when I first got into craft beer. It was the end all be all to me. My, how times have change. aroma is mildly malty and grainy with hints of yeast, dough and caramel. Pours a decent looking dark brown with rich ruby highlights. Flavor is malty with some euro hops, a hint of anise and juniper. Slightly sweet with some earthy undertones. Medium bodied.

Jun 14, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark body with thin head. Aroma is of toffee, chocolate, mocha, and a certain kind of hoppiness. Taste is of chocolate, light coffee and cream, lots of sweet malt. Very enjoyable beer.

May 31, 2007 Rated 11/25/06: Not one to let me down, I had a feeling Summit would have a nice winter seasonal. This is a fantastic strong ale. Abundant roasted aroma very rich and appealing. Awesome pour amber/brown color with a long lasting one inch light tan head and layers upon layers of lacing. Mouthfeel isn’t as full as expected but it’s smooth and gratifying. Flavor is a half step under the great aroma. Very malty almost drinks like a porter, if it were darker I would be fooled. Some smokiness with mild flavors of chocolate, licorice, and coffee. Small hop presence. Overall a great beer any time of the year.
