Jun 20, 2007 I miss this beer in the winter now. I live in Ohio, and they don’t send us this stuff. It’s still one of my favorites.

Apr 12, 2007 120z bottle. Clear and honey amber. Cocoa and raisins in the nose with a touch of soapy hops. Medium bodied and smooth. Cola-ish lively flavor. Notes of citrus and tart cherries. Long sticky and bitter. The smooth malts are balanced with the bitter spicy hops. Slight short lived smokey flavor.

Mar 3, 2007 A nice winter brew. Very flavorful and dark. One is enough as it can get hard to drink. Worth a try but nothing special. There are many better Oregon beers.

Feb 27, 2007 12oz bottle from Jake65 - thanks! A decent winter warmer. Nice copper to brown color, with a decent body. A fairly pleasant character - with figs, chocolate, the usual flavors associated with the style - with modest malts. Solid enough, but not much personality.

Feb 16, 2007 Dark reddish brown with a light brown foamy, compact head. Aromas of chocolate, cigars and fruitcake. Creamy malty aftertaste with a hop undercurrent.

Feb 9, 2007 in bottle. chestnut color with a thick tawny head. aroma is hoppy and sweet, perhaps with a touch of vanilla. The flavor is nutty, toasty and hoppy... and sweet, with a tart flavor and tongue feel towards the middle of the flavor.

Feb 9, 2007 In the bottle from Wilbur’s. Pours a chestnut color with a beige head. Aroma is a bit roasted and a bit chocolate, but the dominant smell is a decent bolus of finishing hops, perhaps Cascade? The flavor is fairly boring to me. I see this beer as being closer to a porter than to a strong ale. Mid-malted, roasted and chocolate flavors match the aroma, but only a whimper of hops at the end. OK, but not great.

Jan 31, 2007 NIce dark amber-red ale. Heavily malted with lots of floral aroma. Some ripe fruit flavors and some nice hop bite. Medium bodied. The finish really swarms the tongue with a heavy maly finish. A little too spicey for my tongue - moderate carbonation. Seems like its missing something.... Maybe a little short on diverse flavors - Good, could be great, just missing that last piece.
