Apr 21, 2008 Bottle on 4/15/2008. Deep amber brown with a medium rocky tan head and some sticky lace. Caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts and a dark fruitiness waft up from the glass, an inviting beginning. Smooth medium body with a complementary light effervescence, and a soft dry palate combine for a nice mouthfeel. Flavors of burnt sugar and spicy hops balance well. There’s a sharp bitterness at the finish, but not at all objectionable.

Apr 16, 2008 I wasn’t expect much of this, but was a belter. Quite hoppy and bitter - some sweetness and a bit nutty. Very drinkable.

Apr 4, 2008 Pours a lovely colour, Very dark red. It smells nutty, then bready. It’s malty, evidently alcoholic, It tastes of roast malt and barley, creamy, a dark berry fruit note. I imagine id love this on cask.

Big caramel flavors, toffee, maple syrup, and a nice lingering licorice bite. Again, caramel in the aftertaste. Good finish. Bitter, smooth-bodied. Enjoyable.

Mar 10, 2008 aroma of malts and bananas. brown body with some carbonation w/ a small light brown head. taste of malts ,roasted nuts, a bit of coffee and yeast. palate is the only thing that bugs me about it as it is a bit hoppy on the finish. this is a good winter beer.
...on a side note, let this one warm up a bit before drinking. Much better as it gets warmer.
