Dec 10, 2007 Tap. Pours a deep copper with tan head. Aroma is roasted malts but nothing overwhelming. (I could’ve been a bit plugged up from being outside.)Taste was decent, creamy, nutty, and finishing with a light coffee taste. Not overly carbonated and excellent lacing throughout. Great way to end a day on the slopes or ice-skating...sitting by a fire and putting up your feet!

Dec 8, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours a ruby red/mahogany with a modest off-white head and good carbonation. Aroma is spicy and full with roasted malt alongside cloves, woodiness, and a slight sweet tinge of chocolate. Taste is creamy, flat and full with a malty taste of nuts and coffee giving way to a chocolate finish. A solid winter brew even if it’s nothing special.

Dec 8, 2007 An airy, frothy head with a dark and somewhat coffee-like appearance has a light and toasty aroma.
While the flavor tends a bit on the dry, somewhat flat side, there are undeniable hints of dark chocolate, malt, and oats.
Best as a warm-you-up beer alongside a sharp cheddar.

Dec 1, 2007 Had this beer on 9/15/1999. Aroma is a sweet malt scent. Taste starts with a body that is rich with a sweet finish. It’s a bit too sweet for me.

Nov 26, 2007 Portlike ruby-brown and glear as glass. Tired head is composed of large bubbles. Gentle caramel, maraschino, and smoke scents. Surprising nutty flavor with cream soda, raisin, and fenugreek. Body is creamy and on the light side of medium, but a little chalky and drab. Zero carbonation. Subdued aftertaste sports roasty coffee-chocolate and seasalt flavors. Not bad, but not that good either.

Nov 25, 2007 Bottle. Looks dark copper with a light brown one-finger head. Aroma is not much to speak of; some malt and spice. Tastes of mild spices and caramel. Finish is unimpressive and not too complex. A decent beer, but I’ll be looking for other selections for my "winter mix".

Nov 22, 2007 Pours out a deep amner with a small white head that fades quickly. A nice roasted malt aroma. Taste is of malt, nuts, vanilla and mild spices. Light hop. A very nice medium bodied brew that goes down easy.

Nov 18, 2007 Very dark brown color with a small off-white head. A toasted caramel malt aroma, porter-like. A touch of clove in the taste with a bitterness up front. Mild aftertaste, not cloying. Average.
