On Firkin tap at The Front Door Boise, Pours out a amber topped with a sand head. Aroma light malt. Tast more of the malt a touch hops for the bitterness. Not bad but not a strong winter ale.

2008 Bottle - Pours amber with a small head, aroma is malty and toasty, flavour is well balanced bitterness and sweet malts, thicker than most without becoming too heavy....quite a nice winter ale...

Amber-brown pour leaving a small off white frothy head that mostly diminishes. Sweet malty flavor with light lacing in the glass leaving a creamy finish. MUSH ON you huskies! Only 3 of these in the store to take home....would like to "sample" a few more.

V - red amber color with light lacing and a smallish head A - malty caramel T - smooth malts with a little touch of hops and bitters. Good balance, just needs to be stronger. P - Good as a sessionable beer. re-rate, dec 2008 clear rich mahogany body with an active light tan head. Aroma is lightly astringent hoppy with a strong bitter suggestion. Taste backs up the bitter malts. Dropped my overall a point.

This beer pours a clear, dark copper coloured body with a thick tan head. Aroma is slightly hoppy with light coffee and a significant amount of floral notes. Tatse is light, but comfortable and satisfying. Finishes slightly bitter but balanced.

Pours a dark amber color with off-white head. Tastes of hops, caramel, and malts. Pretty smooth and drinkable. Good beer.
