Nice golden brown pour, fair tan head. Sweet malty aroma has a bit of musty earthyness to it and some notes of hops and spices. Flavor seemed very balanced nutty if anything with some kind of different tartness. Finishes mildly bitter and a bit dry. Not bad.

Bottle. 12oz. Pours honey brown with a beige head. Aroma of honey, roasted malt, hops, and spice. Medium body with a strong finish. Very nice strong ale.

Bottle. Nice malt and caramel aroma. The taste was malty with a sweet finish. The carbonation seemed very fizzy to me.

12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Nice hoppy finish, but otherwise and altogether relatively average.

Pours dark copper with a thin tan head. Smells of raisins, some molasses, sweet. Tastes earthy and dry with some spiciness and a fruity finish.

Bottle from Party Source. Poured clear brown color with medium off-white fizzy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium roasted malt aroma with a hoppy tone. Medium body with a smoth texture and soft carbonation. Medium flavor of roasted malt with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good interesting brew.

A so so beer. Aroma was nice. A woody earthiness with strong caramel malt and a hint of must. Pour was a nice deep dark brown with a pinky sized tan head. Taste was a little thin but the wood and caramel malt mix well together. This is not an oak aged beer, the woodiness is more earthy than in your face if that makes sense. Weak carbonation and a thin aftertaste.

Bottle shared with curly at woody’s. The abv was listed as 6.3%. Pours a clearish brown with fair tan head. Pretty bland, malty, a little cardboard. Lightly roasty with some chocolate notes. I would like to taste this again fresh.

Poured a nice dark reddish-brown, and smelt of roasted malts. Had a malty taste to it with a bit of spices, overall it was a very enjoyable winter brew.
