Sep 17, 2008 Pours an awesome dark amber color with hints of ruby with a very nice finger’s width head. Smells spicey with hints of honey and malts and earth. The aroma pretty much matches the taste in a great way. It is full bodied and a great representative of the style. Awesome.

Sep 16, 2008 It is interesting to note the disparity of flavours and aromas found in this beer, depending on the year it was rated. I found it to be a solid rep of the style, but with nothing flashy or special going on. Straightforward buttery caramel malt with a low floral hop profile in the finish that almost becomes unnoticable after the first few sips.

Sep 14, 2008 Bottle. Pours a coppery gold with a large head and aromas of honey bread, grain dust, floral malts and a bit of spice. Flaor is a great mix of the above elements... starts out with honey like sweetness, ends with dusty malt. Bring on October!!!

Sep 14, 2008 50cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a clear copper color with thick and creamy tan head. Good retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet malt, flowers, spice, some banana. Flavor is very much the same--creamy mouthfeel with sweet malt, some spice, some light hops, and hints of nuts. Lively carbonation. Medium body with a slightly sweet, quick finish.

Sep 12, 2008 Pours a clear honey color, with a fizzy body, and a large, foamy head - aroma of honey-soaked bread, soft herbal characteristics, floral hops - medium body, full carbonation - dry and moderately bitter up front, with some herbal hoppiness - sweetness and bready malts come up from underneath that, but it is a clean sweetness, like cane sugar - this combines with the herbal character to create a brisk, tea-like flavor - finishes with lingering sweetness - a solid, refreshing o-fest.
