Jun 8, 2008 22oz bottle. Had this last night, much better fresh I think. Pours red/brown with a huge, billowing, offwhite head, great retention, some sticky lace. Smells a mix of hops, malts, red fruits, and alcohol. Tastes hoppy, slightly bitter, slightly sweet red fruity, slightly malty. Hops are fruity-ish. Medium body, vibrant carbonation.

May 29, 2008 Small sample at OSLO and Guerde’s tasting on Friday, 5-23-08. Pours a hazy amber. Good, hoppy and malty aroma. Pine and biscuit scents. Very good, sweet, fruity, toasty primary taste with a nice, bitter, dry hops kick. Medium to heavy body. Lively in the palate.

May 29, 2008 [Bottle, thanks Skyview!] Pours amber with a big tan head. Aroma is big on citrusy hops with the malt not as prominent. Taste is very nice, and quite sweet initially--primarily it is hops and caramel malt again, but the balance is more towards malt than in the aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a fairly long, malty finish. Pretty good stuff overall.

May 26, 2008 Thanks to kegbear for this one. Pour was medium brown with strong aromas of nutmeg, some dark fruit, and more spices. Flavor was very well blended with a lot of hop character and nutmeg again. Also very malty. Good brew consumed during the wrong season. Would buy again.

May 23, 2008 Updated: May 26, 2008Sampled at OSLO/Guerde’s Memorial Day tasting. Picked up a single 22-oz bomber from John’s Marketplace in Portland, Oregon. Pours a hazy reddish amber brew with a thin off-white head that slowly dissipates to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of caramel malt, some citrus zest, grapefruit, a touch of pine and some pineapple. Taste is medium bodied, some hoppy character with flavors of caramel malt, pineapple, grapefruit and a touch of pine. Finish is semi-sweet, slightly dry pitter with a caramel and slight alcohol bite. Definitely a winter warmer.
