Dec 31, 2006 After the few wretched beers I just had, this actually seems good - might not under normal circumstances. Pours dark bronze with a frothy light tan head. The aroma has cinnamon and spicy hops with a bit of underlying citrus and light woodiness. Medium body with lots of prickly carbonation. Flavors start with musty caramel / chocolate malt with some cinnamon. The finish has light spice and medicinal traits added. Adequate at best.

Dec 23, 2006 YAWN. boring. tastes cheap and thin. To me it tastes like a light beer with spice. Every time I have a Breck beer I am never dissapointed. They are always poor. I guess I had a high expectation for this brewery. Its just not very good.
