Jan 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy copper with a medium creamy off white head. The aroma is pine, spice, and sweet malt. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. The taste is a spicy hop bite at first with a nutmeg and bitter finish. A complex english strong ale from Boulevard.

Jan 5, 2009 Pours an orange-red with little carbonation, and medium thick off-white head and okay lacing,.. Nose and flavor were both pretty muted, and what was there seemed to be a hint of alty fruit, molasses and coffee. At only 6.1%, alcohol never did make itself known. Finish was short lived and non-descript.
Not a bad drinking beer, just not what I would think of as a holiday winter warmer.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle, with Tommy at his Winter Six Pack tasting. Dark red/gold, light tan head. Viney, candy hops, cinnamon. A musky green sort of aroma. Resiny green fruit flavor. Nutty, coppery aftertaste. Full, sweet palate, very soft. Initial score: 6/4/6/5 13. Had a second bottle a couple of days later that seemed in slightly better shape. Hop character brighter, cleaner. Couple of point bump.

Dec 31, 2008 Highly charged brew with thin malting and a spice that seems to be coming from the bittering hops,actually a decent thirst quencher that would probaly be a better summer ale
