Mar 23, 2008 On draught at the brewer. Sweet, diacetyl notes in the nose. Deep amber pour with a nice head that diminishes to ring lace. Dark fruity esters and sweet malt flavors are enhances by light carbonation levels and a soft mouthfeel. Weird that for a winter warmer, the ABV is more noted in the beginning than the end.

Feb 6, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Looked great with a nice, stand-up head. The aroma was the first hint of trouble to come. The sweet malt of a Vienna was there, a bit of caramel, mouthfeel OK....but there was some wierd off-flavor at the end. As a homebrewer I recognized that off-flavor, I THINK it was exposure to oxygin. Then again, the keg had just been changed, so I will give this one the benefit of the doubt and try it again in a week or two.

Dec 28, 2007 Orange-brassy color with lightly roasted malt aroma and some sweetness. Warm malt biscuit dominates. A great winter warmer.
