bsjay (54), Oregon, USA Oct 27, 2009 A pretty standard winter warmer, with some spice notes (not overdone), nuttiness and hops to balance the malt agression. Nice red, rather than dark, appearance is a standout for the style. Pretty good, but taste wouldn’t stand out in a crowd. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 20, 2009 bottle - Pours a murky brown color with a very thin head. It has a rich aroma of caramel malt with hints of dark fruit and spices. The flavor is sweet and spicy with some mild hops in the finish. It’s medium bodied and did seem a little watery even as it warmed. Still it was a tasty, enjoyable brew. jport4087 (73), Pennsylvania, USA Aug 25, 2009 Updated: Sep 5, 2009Great summer ale. Was looking to try it again but looks like I am a out of luck for a while. Another good Boulder beer. alraicercsu (166), Ft.Collins, Colorado, USA Aug 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark red color and a very malty and slightly spicey aroma. Taste is similar. drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 12, 2009 Malty and sweet with just enough hops for a solid dry balance. A casual beer that is very drinkable and unobtrusive. arrogantb (695), Denver, Colorado, USA Jul 23, 2009
