Pours a nice amber, moderate head.
Aroma is complex, sweet, spicy.
Flavor is also complex, and very good - malt sweetness and spices in balance. Caramel, cinnamon and especially vanilla dominate. Tastes like it was aged in bourbon casks. Incredibly smooth.
One of my favorites.

Jan 11, 2009 Pours amber with minimal off-white head. Malty and heavy on the dark fruits, currants, dried cherries, raisin, caramel and vanilla bean. Light-moderate hops to balance it out.

Jan 10, 2009 Sampled on tap at The Galway Tribes (Frankfort, IL). Pours a deep dark brownish copper with tannish moderate head. Aromas are carmel and vanilla mixed with subtle nutmeg spiciness and other spices. Taste is similar, creamy carmel and vanilla noted brew, light on hoppiness, mixed with some subtle spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc.). A bit too sweet for my palate and lacking a lot of complexity with hops. Interesting, but not a favorite.

Jan 8, 2009 Copper amber color with deep tan head. Sweet malty aroma mostly caramel. Flavor is not far from a vanilla cream ale which becomes a bit much by the end of the glass. Creamy on the palate. Interesting use of spicing

Jan 6, 2009 Clear honey colored with 2cm of beige head. Aroma is sweet with worty caramel notes. Taste carries these elements along with a spiced grape soda aspect that I find interesting. Biscuity finish. $2/12oz
