PattiA (49) - Madison, New Hampshire, USA - MAR 21, 2005
Good brew. Pour is a nice reddish coppery color. Malts dominate the flavor as well as the aroma. Flavor is quite complex, hinting at apples, grapes, toffee, caramel and vanilla with a bitter edge. Finish is sweet and left me wanting more.

tiggmtl (4516) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 19, 2004
Sweet and fruity aroma. Clear amber with off-white head that recedes to ring. Toffee, caramel, sweet with nice fruity esters. Could use more balancing bitterness. Body is a bit light and still. On tap at the Vermont Brewers Festival.
