Jul 5, 2008 Reddish amber with a quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma of spice, malt, caramel, dough, toffee and alcohol. Smooth start with a semi-chewy finish that’s a bit spicy. Flavors include caramel, sweet malt, spice and mild alcohol. Vegetal and hop properties also creep in there. Decent winter beer (on a hot summer night).

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle. Nice colour, and head. A little chewy in overall feel. Still, only a western brew, this has nothing on it’s English counterparts.

Jun 25, 2008 Rich caramel color with beige head. Nose is sticky malts with some slight hops character. Bready nose as well. Good mouthfeel with this beer...with nice carbonation. Some toffee, caramel and woody flavors with some roasted nuts. Very nice beer.

May 29, 2008 someone else noted that this is much like a scotch ale and I agree. very malty with english tasting water. decent beer but nothing to look for.

May 10, 2008 Pours reddish brown color that is somewhat dirty; off-white head is quick to retreat. I can’t find a whole lot to comment on with the aroma as it is very faint, but what is there is mostly sweet malts and bready. Flavor is all about caramel malts and has the slightest hints of dark fruit (plums?). Ends somewhat bitter, but not overly so. Much smoother than expected...this one sort of acted like a scotch ale IMO. Pretty good offering that is very easy to drink.

Apr 20, 2008 This is a decent little beer for the holidays, kind of a go to, because it is always pretty consistent from year to year. Very malty and full of caramel and toffee malts, a slight bit of candied fruitiness. Really enjyoable.
