Dec 29, 2007 Slightly hoppy aroma froma deep amber body with a white head. Mostly malt flavor with a touch of yeast spiceyness. I just don’t like this beer. Can’t put my finger on it, but i don’t like it.

Dec 27, 2007 on tap at market cross, Shippensburg: Nose is full or toasty malt character, no hop presence in the nose, and maybe a hint of tofee. came off the tap dark amber, but not quite brown and transparent with a thin film of head. Flavor was quite nice and toasty, with a slighty roasted edge and loads of malt flavors. hops kicked in in the finish and provided a nice balance and addicting tinge of bitterness, very clean flavor no yeast flavors detected. mouthfeel was medium bodied, normal amount of carbonation. quite tasty

Dec 27, 2007 Pours dark brown with a small off white head that leaves a small amount of lacing. Aroma is very sweet and malty. The taste is very sweet as well, with a strange taste accompanying it that seems to be in every Wild Goose beer I have tried. Very decent for the price.

Dec 23, 2007 Bottle obtained from HogTownHarry. Deep red-amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is light but pleasant, with some toasted malt and caramel, and a faint spiciness. Medium bodied. Nice flavour, with sweet malt off the top, followed by some raisin and candied orange peel notes, and a moderately bittered finish. I’m not sure what the folks comparing this to a stout or a porter were drinking, as it didn’t resemble those in the least. Just a slightly above-average strong ale.

Dec 21, 2007 Nice winter warmer. Mealy aroma with very little head. Light brown lacing. Caramel initial taste with little hops. Seems like a cross between a porter and a stout. Just enough spice to add.

Dec 21, 2007 Not wintery enough for me... more like a porter. Nice flavors ... tofee, nutmeg, lots of malted barley.

Dec 14, 2007 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.
