12 oz bottle-Dark amber color w/no head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor of roasted nuts, caramel, dark malt, & toffee w/a trace of spice. Rich, full mouthfeel w/ a long full malt finish. Just the right touch of bitterness on the finish. This was a very good sample of this style. Easy drinking brew, quite enjoyable.

Sampled at sl holiday event. Pours a clear copper color with a nice beigh head. Aroma of toasty caramel malts, dark fruits, light hops and some spices. Flavor is medium bodied with roasted light caramel, brown sugar, spices, and a hint of molasses with a bittersweet finish. A decent english strong.

This is a winter ale that stays tue to its beer. dark appearance with a coffee like head. good malty flavorwith some spice. good ingredients well are blended and put together well. not too much of one thing. good job

Draught: Pretty much no aroma whatsoever. Maybe a little hops. Poured copper/amber in color with a medium-sized, foamy, tan head that diminished slowly. Flavor of bubblegum and alcohol. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Boring finish. Overall, boring a thin.

Bottle. Pours a brownish amber with a thin quickly dissipating head. The aroma is a mixture of malt sweetness, caramel and roasted coffee. The taste is smooth and roasted sweet.

12 oz, 12007FX (Jan 07?). Clear, copper-dark brown with a medium and lasting creamy head. Aroma of spicy, peppery caramel and sweet dark fruit. Flavor is very interesting: at first like a toasty malty, British nut brown ale with some spices added. Finishes bitterish and dry pine-hoppy with a cocoa-molasses aftertaste. Palate is smooth, medium-bodied, and tingly on the end. Very nice.
