Dec 7, 2006 Nice dark cherry red with a perfect medium head. Light sweet aroma of caramel/maple. A little juniper in the aroma and taste. Taste starts with moderate sweetness and finishes with spicy hops.

Dec 7, 2006 Another gift from the bartender at Barcade… I love this place. Dark amber beer with a thick off-white head. Aroma is a bit salty and herbal with intense oaky character throughout. Herbal dill-like character that reminds me of the barrel-aged Leviathan. Flavour shows saltiness and sweet caramelly malt. Strong alcoholic flavour and a bit of tartness on the back. A bit of vanilla and caramel along with some herbal hoppiness. Strong and sweet but not terribly malty. Not really a fan.

Dec 4, 2006 a very nice strong beer. Great for the cold winter months. Rich and malty and smooth as silk this is a creamy, thick beer. Sweet but not overpowering so. It drinks more like a porter than a English ale

Dec 1, 2006 (Bottled) Dark nutty brown with a smallish, tight head. Toffee-caramely-malty aroma of berries, blackcurrant leaves and birch. Smooth, lightly roasty, very caramely-malty and fruity flavor with flowery hops. Slicky, medium to full-bodied, warming palate with slightly foamy carbonation and well-hidden alcohol. A nice, sweetish and warming winter brew with a strong scotch/old ale feel.

Nov 26, 2006 Bottled from Whole Foods Market. Pours a dark ruby color. Sweet woody aroma. Some hops are noticable, but just a touch. Some vinousness and bourbon. Dark malty character. Lots of wood and dark fruit. Hoppy bitter finish. Well balanced brew. The 8% is very well hidden.

Nov 24, 2006 Malty aroma with a slight smokey scent. The apperance is dark brown with red highlights. Palate is extremely full. Very complex flavor. Wood, malt, smoke--lots of flavor. Some hops come out as it warms. Very nice.

Nov 20, 2006 Updated: Sep 8, 2007Pours to a garnet shade with a creamy head, with a nose of maple, caramel, different woods, and alcohol. Rich flavors of raisins, bourbon, and fruitcake, finishing with a bit of burn reminiscent of Robitussin. Flavorful, but it began to strike me as strangely overcomplicated, as if someone poured a bit of cough medicine on chocolate cake. Might even be a bit young.
