Bottle. Dark color. Nice smooth caramel flavor. A little heavy, espeically for when I drank it, but in the winter this would be a perfect beer to drink to warm up to.

Pours a nice reddish brown color. Aromas of dark fruits, nut, hops, and a touch of wood. Flavor is smooth caramel malt, wood, and a nice hop.

This bottled brew poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a body with both suspended carbonation and yeast floaties in a dark brown colored body with a fair lacing. The aroma was yeasty and malty. The mouth feel was vinous and tingly from start to finish then mellowed into a very nice vinous malty sweet caramel malt flavor. Very yummy.

Bottle. Small tan head that quickly dissipated, minimal lacing, carbonated, floaties, transparent, and a red hue with some orange peeking through. Malty, caramel, some chocolate notes, sweet, and hoppy. Flavor was sweet, malty, caramel, some chocolate, and lightly hoppy. Mostly smooth palate and somewhat dry. Light-medium body.

Pours deep brown with a two finger thick tan head. Aroma of piney hops, citrus, sweet malts, and caramel. Flavor is sweet, caramel notes, some roast is present, bitter hoppiness and finishes dry, full bodied brew.

12oz bottle via trade with slob! - Thanks Bert! - Pours dark brown with a short tan head that settles back to a film and laces a touch on the way down. Aromas of caramel, wood, brown sugar, and a touch of chocolate. Flavor is malty as well. Nice caramel, woody notes, and chocolate and just a touch of vanilla. Palate is medium bodied and not much carbonation. A pretty drinkable ale.

Dark brown and cloudy in color. Has a nice sweet taste which is a bit fruity. Beer is relativley hoppy for a winter ale. It has a bit of a dry finish. This beer is a nice winter ale for a cold winter day.

This one would be a nice winter warmer when it gets down to around 28 degrees F. Appetizing malt sweetness to make one want to drink more and more until you’re all warmed up inside. I’m a little surprised by the hoppiness but it does well to balance out the flavors and keep it from being overly sweet.
