Jan 7, 2007 I’ve had several beers from this brewery I thought were only fair, but this one definitely ranks above average to me.
It pours a copper color with plenty of white head.
Aroma is a medium amount of caramel malt smell.
Taste is really rather good. It is a nice balance of caramel maltiness, mild sweetness, and a bit of hop.
Moutheel and drinkability are good.
All-in-all, I would recommend this beer.

Jan 3, 2007 Pours a clear dark amber with a ruby tint with a small off white head. Aroma of bready malts, caramel with just a hint of hops. Nice full mouthfeel with a taste of dough to start, dark fruits in the middle and a bit of hop bite in the end. A bit abrasive, but overall not bad. The fruit and the bread seamed to clash though.

Jan 1, 2007 A good brew for a winter evening, with a nose of cherries, a hint of honey, and some lightly earthy notes. Pouring amber with a medium laced head and rinsing across the palate with flavors of dark fruits balanced with a slight honey sweetness, a floral hoppy finish and a warming alcohol blanket.

Dec 25, 2006 If you expecting a real English Strong Ale make sure you pass this one by. I thought the beer was more fruity tasting than bitter. I didn’t mind the beer, but maybe it would play better in the summer. Not bad, just not real good either.

Dec 21, 2006 An excellent seasonal ale. Smells of caramel, hops, and dark fruits and has a similarly well balanced taste.

Dec 20, 2006 Blind tasting. Not a big fan of this one. Clear amber. Sweet aroma and malty taste. Just too sweet...needs more to it. Drinkable though.
