Jul 13, 2009 My bottle was not good at all. It may be that I had just finished a Belgian double, but this one just doesn’t stnad up. Have to rate it thumbs down.

Jun 14, 2009 Updated: Jul 27, 2009This beer has character! Lots of flavor: toasted, roasted, nutty, Molasses, Caramel. Creamy texture, not too sweet or too dry. Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is because their Winter Solstice is similar and slightly superior.

Jun 13, 2009 Amber. Head fades off quickly. Caramel, toffee, earthy hops aromas, although friend says "smells like cookies!" Similar taste at first but finishes with a slight taste of tea, which is actually how it feels on the palate--like iced tea.

Jun 4, 2009 12. oz. -> English pint glass. Excellent aroma of maple, hops, clay, grass, malt, licorice, and trees (cedar?). Poured a nice, cloudy hazel brown with an initial full head. Maybe the bottle is off, but the taste is mostly just bitter, with a scotche of the maple and malt.

May 31, 2009 Pours clear dark amber with a tall rocky tan head that has awesome retention and leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is caramel, tea, citrus, planty hops, dried date sweetness, a little toffee, and pecan nuttiness on the backend. Flavor starts off with caramel, tea, sweet almond, toffee, lots of very grainy flavors in the middle finish rounds off with lots of nutty notes, and planty hops with maybe a hint of citrus. Palate is thin to medium bodied with a creamy feel and a slightly lacking carbonation level, finishes kind of juicy. This is a really nice amber nothing too special overall but everything balances well and pulls together to make a really solid brew. I gotta say it looks really nice, though it does sort of explode with head when poured, showed no signs of breakdown or infection to me though...
