Chestnut color with a medium size frothy head. Nice sweet aroma of malt, caramel and a hint of hops. Mildly sweet malt flavor with lots of caramel and a hoppy finish. Kind of tastes like a barleywine.

Fiery red color, bold, burnished crimson, with a sizeable serving of creamy-tan froth atop, softly settling. Aroma, soft, yet spicy, nutty, malty, hints of dark fruit. Nice enough. Big, generous mouthfeel, greets the lip and tongue warmly, instantly delivers pure pleasure through maximum flavor. Rich and malty mix of spice and fruit, with traces of toffee, brimming with character. Lays on the palate long as you please, settling in nicely and spreading joy with it’s sweet delight. Great drinkability, beautifully textured. This one’s a winner!

Pour is a deep red with a smallish white head. Aroma is non-existent but there is a little something there. Flavor is malty,spicy and a bit hoppy in the end. Nothing really stands out or overpowers. Average.

Like pleasant nose, dark brown amber, foamy frothy head. Medium caramelly malt body with a dry toasted malt end. A little spicey too. Medium body. Drinkable, but not so exciting.

A very sweet, malty nose. Deep copper, with a small toffee head. Flavours are malty fruitiness, nutty too. Really fine mouthfeel. Well balanced, softly sweet. Lovely! Thank You Radek and Carolyne.

Only got to have one sip of this, but what I had was quite good. Very smooth and drinkable. Great spicey malty flavor with a bit of hops.

Bottle. Poured clear amber with some head. Aroma of light spiciness, mild hops, mellow malts and subtle citrus. Theres an alcohol taste that made me think it’s higher than the 5.9% posted here. Additional falvors of chocolate and a malt extract to go along with white pepper and clove.
