Nov 27, 2009 Draft at redlight redlight. Pours a typical amber color. The nose is pretty funky, definitely some foot in there. Also some bark and hints of beef stew. Behind it some orange peel and whatever spices are in Capt. Morgan, you might find those spices in the aroma. The funkiness mellows in the flavor but still present. A lot of flavors similar to wassle come forward. I don’t know what’s in wassle but here it is. A little thin but not bad.

Nov 27, 2009 Reddish brown pour. Off white head. I get a lot of fruit and caramel but no real spice. Flavor tastes like tart apples, caramel and a little yeast.

Nov 25, 2009 On tap in a pint glass. A faint aroma of malt and a big fresh grain taste that really reminds me of Leinie’s Fireside Nut Brown. Some spice comes and goes.

Nov 24, 2009 The aroma has caramel, cereal, nuts, spice, dust, paper, and grass. The appearance is amber with a large foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with sweetness upfront and bitterness and bread in the finish. The palate is OK. Overall this is a pretty easy drinking beer but it’s slightly off.

Nov 12, 2009 From Gilly’s Beer & Wine:
Light aroma. Decent flavor, not the best winter beer.

Nov 11, 2009 Red-amber brew with off-white head which quickly dissipates but leaves fine lace. Aroma is roasted nuts, light vanilla, caramel, and allspice perhaps. Taste is dark and red fruits, roasted malt and late spice with mild bitterness. Palate is smooth with light to medium viscosity. Overall a very drinkable, lightly spiced winter ale.

Nov 9, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 11/9/09
Aroma: The nose has some roasted notes, some sweet fruit, some spice, overall a pretty interesting malty nose
Appearance: This beer pours a clear red-amber color with a thick and fluffy off-white head and some decent lace
Flavor: Tastes similar to the nose, medium sweet, a good amount of spice/malt flavor, light bitterness to the finish
Palate: This beer has a pretty interesting mouthfeel from the spice, a nice body, and a smooth finish
Overall Impression:
This is a pretty interesting beer. A really nice flavor profile from a well-blended mix of spices and other flavors. I like what they did here, this one worked pretty well. It’s kind of a beer of a different breed, but a beer that is very well-made.
