Apr 22, 2009 Lightly hazy amber, with a large but short-lived sudsy head. Ongoing effervescence, but little lace. Light citric hops aroma, but faint. First sip was disappointing, somewhat tannic malt profile with some stale-bread, but the beer bounced back from this bad first impression, as the malts shifted towards a brown-sugar sweetness, nicely rounded by piney malts, and some fruit esters, more strawberry than anything else. Still a little bread-crusty on the finish. Medium to full body.

Apr 12, 2009 This poured a dark amber color with a moderate to large beige head. The aroma contains some dark fruit, toffee, molasses, caramel and spices pretty nice! The flavor is somewhat sweet with a hint of bitterness in the finish. I’m tasting cherries, caramel, molasses, raisins, and toffee. I also detect a hint of spices. Overall this is a nice beer!

Apr 12, 2009 Bottle. Have been holding on to this one for a bit. Poured a rich coppery color. Aroma of caramel, crackers, earth with a little bit of spice. A pretty clean and flavorful beer. A nice lingering after taste initially, not so much as it wore on. Very malty flavor with a touch of spicy/earthy hops in the finish. Nice caramel and bready flavors. Solid beer.
