Dec 11, 2007 Bottle. Poured amber with a fizzy head. Spicy hop and malt aroma. Nice hop and malt balance, maybe some toffee and cocoa notes as well. Really smooth and easy to drink.

Dec 4, 2007 12 oz bottle via grocer. This beer pours a clear dark copper with a huge beige head. Nose is roasty and a little spicy. Taste is caramel, toffee, and some earthy hoppiness. Finish is bittersweet leaning on the sweet side. Body is light, carbonation is high. A decent winter Ale.

Dec 2, 2007 Pours a crystal clear amber with nice off white head. The aroma is rich roasted malts, mild piney to grapefruit hops and sweet malts. All well melded and inviting. I also get some grainy malts too. The taste begins with mild pine to grapefruit hop bitterness followed by chewy caramelized malts and some sweeter maltiness. Roasty malts seem to build some toward the finish. Nice offering.

Dec 1, 2007 Bottle in trade with BeerandBlues2. Pours a nice deep burnt amber with frothy and slick head. Gentle nowe is of Hops over malts. Body is dry and malty with a good coating of hops that diminsish and blend with malts well. A bit of a watery finish but overall a fine representation from Montana. Thanks!

Nov 29, 2007 Bottle. A great winter ale. Heavy body with a good caramel taste. Not a real hoppy around or taste, but a great ale to keep you warn in the winter.

Nov 28, 2007 Another NW beer courtesy of Ibrew2or3. The man is unstoppable. Amber colored body, with a small tan head. Fades quickly, leaving no lace, only a ring of foam at the edges of the beer. Nose is full of hops, very spicy and citrusy, along with caramel malts and some other spices. Also smells a little musty, but not bad and really doesn’t harm the beer. Flavor is resiny hops, pine, citrus and balancing sweet malts. Medium bodied, oily slick on the palate. FInish is bitter, drying hops and an ending sweet malt note. Solid.

Nov 17, 2007 Bottle. Pours deep mahogany with a small, fizzy, light brown head, diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, nutty), light hops (flowers), average yeast (dough) with notes of toffee and dates. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Short duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Nov 15, 2007 Aroma is dark, bready malt, with barely detectable hop. Mahogany color with an off-white head that did a bit of lacing. Near medium in body with creamy carbonation. Touch of apricot! Dark roasted caramel, nutty, and apricot flavor and aroma. Lots of malt, but not all that sweet. The finish is somewhat dry after the sweetness drains away, leaving roasted malt remnants, still a bit of apricot, and maybe that’s floral hop? A little bitter does seem to build, but British hops? Notorious flowery things. This is a little "brown", a bit rough, but the flavors make it a fairly decent drink. Glad I bought it.
