Commercial Description:
Working on a winter seasonal, our brewers fell through the Looking Glass and found themselves staring right in the bloodshot eye of a penguin gone bad. Bigger, bolder and with even more attitude than Igloo Ale, the smooth, spiced, high gravity Killer Penguin Strong Ale puts the "hot" in winter warmer. Grains: British Dark Caramel Malt, U.S. 2-Row Barley. Hops: Nugget, Willamette, Cascade and Top-Secret Brewmaster's Spice.

NOTE: This entry is for the spiced versions (made prior to 2005).

Bottle. Orange amber in colour. Aroma was a nice balance of caramel malts, fruit and spices. The flavour was of citrus hops, some caramel, slightly sweet with some dark fruits. Medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with some pepper heat.

Deep malty aroma eminating from a dense white head. Red/brown, slight haze. Big toasted malt taste, slightly minty. Very clean finish. Only hints of sweetness which was nice.

Amber like with small disappearing crowning. Sweet, fruity aroma, good solid malt. Plums , alcohol at front , fruity and malty behind . Maybe not best but surely its very interesting brew.

Orange color with no head. Great aroma. Rich and complex. The flavor is also rich and well balanced. Really nice beer. Heavy mouth with a long finish. Rich and savory. Delicious.

Nice combination of malt and spice in the aroma, plenty of nutmeg and ginger. Astringency takes hold in the flavor and detracts from the enjoyment. Eliminate the astringent qualities and you have yourself a very good beer, as it is it’s still pretty nice.

Nice hoppy aroma, cloudy brown, tiny tan head. Soft malty flavour, caramel, and a mild citrus. Light bodied, creamy, with some bitterness towards the end. Pretty good.

Cloudy dark copper w/ light brown foam. Aroma is sweet, malty (caramel, toffee, cookie dough), reasonably hoppy (tobacco, grapefruit) & spicy (allspice, ginger). Medium, somewhat sticky feel. Flavour is sweet, moderately complex, mildly bitter. Finish is peppery & spicy.
