Nov 30, 2006 Has a flavor more like Newcastle than anything else, but a touch lighter. Makes for a great Christmas beer, as it should. A nice change from the Fall Fest.

Nov 27, 2006 2006 Draught - I might be the first to rate this one for the year, and I guess they did a little better this time around? Amber color with light grainy aroma. Taste is very grainy-chewy-malty. Alot like a turbodog. Not my favorite style, but this is a nice change of pace.

Sep 10, 2006 Sweet caramel malt aroma. Nice. Beautiful, reddish amber color with yellow hues on the edges. No lace, mostly eroding head. Off-white to almost light tan head. Flavor is frankly ordinary. Dry and somewhat vacuous. Remarkably flavorless for a 6%+ beer. Seeing that this was brewed in December, it may have lost some of its character in the 9 months hence. Very bland and dry.

Apr 14, 2006 There is a very earthy funkiness going on in both aroma and taste. Musty maybe? Very much on the thin side. Hints of a caramelly malty sweetness, but it never really goes anywhere. Not much else to say.

Apr 14, 2006 Appears a red amber with a small white head that quickly fades into a small collar.
Smell is malty, bready, with a sugary, corn syrup aroma standing out.
Taste is of the same aromas albeit kind of weak with mild honey in the mix somewhere.
Mouthfeel is watery, cardboard-ish, with an off, flowery funkyness in the finish.

Apr 14, 2006 12oz bottle shared courtesy of weeare138. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of caramel and just all around earthy. I really didn’t get too much out of this one and wrote down all around bland. Thinner body.

Mar 17, 2006 Pours a clear orange pink color with a nice amount of froathy white head. Aroma aint too hot: mostly just some caramel malt and a slightly hayish sour undertone. Flavor too is off the mark: slightly nutty and sweet, but mostly stale overcarbonated sweet brown sugar thats watered down. Overall, very subpar.
