Jul 8, 2007 Amber colour with a nice haze. Fluffy head and lasting. Flavour is rich and strong with lots of spice and yeast. Aroma is sweet candied sugar with spicy nutmeg and some hops. Smooth lingeriing finish. Enjoyable.

Jul 8, 2007 Okay, this is my third time having this, so I’d better rate it. Murky amber-orange with a foamy, chunky almond head. Aromas of musty basement, citrus peel, spices, sugar candy. Sweet, slightly sticky after a while, with yeast, citrus, toffee, and spice. Yum!

Jul 7, 2007 Bottle. Pours hazy amber with an average frothy off-white head, mostly lasting, fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (hay, straw), average hops (herbs, grapefruit), average yeast (horse blanket, earth) with notes of alcohol, grape and apple. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, lively carbonation and an astringent finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Jul 4, 2007 Nice opaque amber color to this highly carbonated brew, with a large white head upon pouring. The aroma is spicy, sweet, malty, very complex. The taste is the same, though it has a bit of a farmhouse ale finish to me, which is good and bad. I taste a lot of yeast and malt, with lots of spices adding to the finish. There are notes of licorice, anise, and similar flavors, making this one a bit difficult to pin down. Overall, it finishes clean, though a bit "earthy" to me. Nice body and complexity make it a good brew, just not one of my personal favorites.

Jul 3, 2007 Love what these guys can do. Surely their specialty strong ales are sometimes repetitive, but I still like them. This might be lightly spiced. I think there may be a touch of coriander and cinnamon along with the faintest touch of ginger? Sour cherry aroma. Nice esters! Balance towards bready sweet aroma, with yeasty spices mixed in. Complex flavors difficult to describe. I wish I could brew like this. Fantastic.

Jul 3, 2007 Orange with dense creamy white head. Aroma is slightly buttery with caramel, cider, and a hit of alcohol. Taste is heavily spiced but well blended with the malt, and there is a definite alcoholic presence with the warming that entails. $8/22
