Feb 11, 2007 Very English style winter warmer. Big, warm aroma. Malty and rich on the palate. Alchohol is weel integrated. Excellent, especially through this brutal Florida winter....

Feb 9, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Appetizing, subtle aroma that is both malty and hoppy; dry and musty, but in a good way; chocolate-covered raisin or even pretzel notes. Poors a translucent, almost maroon dark brown with a bronze hue; small amount of beige/tan head (I would prefer a bit more); long legs. The flavor is smoky and tart. The hops are clearly of an English variety, and they are stronger in the mix than I expected. Tasteful prune malt sweetness. There may be no spices added, but pepper and pine tastes are present. Complex but manageable. All the flavors remain in the aftertaste. Heavy body; lively in the palate; very drinkable despite the high alcohol content. This beer is a perfect mitigator during the viciously cold February evening in Minnesota through which I am suffering. It is strong across the board. An excellent and underrated treat.

Feb 2, 2007 This beer pours a deep mahogany with a large tan head that dissapates leaving some good lacing down the sides. On the nose I amgetting odors of hazelnut and sweet malt. The flavors are quite good... Lot’s of sweetness that lingers past the drink! Very dark flavors strong with malt. This is a well crafted beer and one I will have again! Cheers!
