Dec 17, 2007 07 bottle. Erupted all over floor when popping the top. That sucked. Lots of hop bite but still a decent balance of malt sweetness. Creamy and thick and a tasty bevy to have by the fireplace this time of year. Tasty times.

Dec 16, 2007 2007 bottle. Pours a reddish amber with a thing frothy off-white head. Strong hop aroma with a hint of the alcohol and sweet malty scent like a barleywine. It also has some barleywine-esque flavor qualitiy...Has a thick creamy mouthfeel.

Dec 10, 2007 bottle from 2006 Pours dark, and slightly hazy with a fluffy off white head. Thick mouth-feel with hops, malts, and toffee. this is a great holiday beer with nice complexity and balance!

Dec 10, 2007 A wonderfully complex beer. It pours a deep amber brown red color with a lovely heavy frothy tan head. Aroma is of hops and faint christmas spice - maybe a touch of alcohol. The flavour is rich with deep malt tones, syrupy sweet hoppy notes, a smoky cherry/coffee presence, and lots more. The mouthfeel is redicoulously heavy. Just feels smooth and creamy inspite of the hoppy punch. Very well crafted.

Dec 9, 2007 Gargantuan sticky head. Hazy orange with chunk of particles floating around. Big floral aroma. Tastes of orange rind and woodiness. Sweet and dry finish. The orange really sits on the tongue once downed.
