Apr 3, 2009 Bottled. Poured medium orange with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up caramel supporting an interesting array of spices.. nutmeg, juniper, and cinnamon come to mind.. earthy and lesser orangey hoppage around. The flavor was caramel-centric as well with tangy grapefruit circling the tongue.. nutmeg, mint, and earth around.. finished a bit sour and quite spicy.. aiight. Medium-bodied with a spotty, uneven flow across the palate.. dry, quick finish with some nice spice to it.

Mar 24, 2009 Bottle from Once Upon a Vine - South on 01/31/2009. Very clear copper amber body with a medium frothy tan head. Sweet floral hop and caramel fruit aroma. Sweet fruit flavor, some caramel, and a bit of floral hops in the background. Medium full body with moderate carbonation.

Mar 18, 2009 Deep brown beer with a thick sticky tan head. Aroma is quite malty with a soft spiciness as well. Fairly sweet with a light crackery note and a touch of spiciness as well. A little but of sticky sweetness that helps the spicy flavour stick around through to the finish. Lingering earthy/pine hop finish. Not bad at all.

Mar 15, 2009 12 oz bottle. Clear red/amber with a thick off white head. Looks well carbonated. Deeply malty nose, nutty with earthy hops. Rather tannic flavor, mildly nutty with a citrusy orange tone. Nice lace. Pleasant.

Mar 14, 2009 A nice beer, if less than exceptional. Pour is a medium, reddish brown, with a nice light tan head. Nose is a nice balance of hops, a little alcohol, and some spice notes. Flavor is good...a pleasant melding of spice and hops, and just enough alcohol to have a slight warming effect as it goes down. My main criticism is that it doesn’t linger on the palate for any considerable time, though it is a tasty beer and one I’d consider tasting again.

Mar 6, 2009 Pours red amber with a thick tan head. Sweet malt pine and citrus aromas. Excellent creamy malt and bitter hop balance. Nice hop bite finish.

Mar 3, 2009 This is what a winter beer should be like. Red tint to the pour with a small head. Aroma is bread and malt. Flavor is malt sweetness with a hop bite at the end. A bit thin on the tongue but otherwise quite good.

Mar 2, 2009 Bottle purchased 2/09. Not much aroma to speak of. Feels thin in the mouth and finish is definitely lacking. Malt flavors disappear as soon as they appear. Pretty much par for the winter beer course as far as I can tell.
