Pours copper with beige head.
Aroma malty with light hops giving it a subtle fruity - orange, citrus nose.
There also was a good nose of hops with light spices and as the beer warmed up it gained a light moldy/cheese like smell.
Taste is hoppy and light roasted malty with notes of caramel. Thick and creamy mouthfeel. with a light bitter finish. nuplastikk (1256), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 5, 2009 12oz bottle. Filtered amber brown color with a nice foamy head. Mildly spicy aroma, nutmeg or cinnamon perhaps. Malty, medium bodied with a sweet finish. The hops are there but never really shine because of the other flavors going on. A little unsubtle in spicing, but an OK beer nonetheless. mstockton (186), Rochester, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 5, 2009 Tried on draft. A nice darker ale. Smells and tastes a little sweet with some molasses and maple flavors. Some malty flavor in there as well. A nice, thicker beer that has a clean aftertaste. Worthwhile.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 25, 2008 Bottle from total wine. Amber pour. White head. Interesting aroma. I am guessing by some other reviewers it is the nugget hops. I get honey, sweet wildflowers, spices and citrus. Flavor is pretty darned nice actually. I get hits of orange, honey, coriander and malt. Hops are present but they arent bitter. Sweet and spicy. Pleasant surprise here. epf33 (222), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
