Sep 7, 2008 A dark clear brown ale with copper hues and a thin white head. A sweet caramel aroma with sweaty notes. In mouth, a sweet cloying malt with nutty notes, oily mouthfeel, very short in mouth. Medium bodied. Boring. Tasted Dec. 2006.

Mar 24, 2008 Red brown, slightly hazy. Predominantly toffee aroma, maybe a little rummy. Earthy toffee, subtley spicey, faint orange liquer essence. Not a hint of its 8% alcohol. Warming and pleasant.

Fairly neutral aroma, light spicy. Amber, creamy head. Fairly spicy, light nutty, berrylike notes, a hint veggies. Lighter body than I expexted. Sticky exit.

Apr 3, 2007 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy & jerc - courtesy of blankboy. Bright, clear copper with a wispy head. Soft aroma of fruit (citrus & peach) and malt, a bit of boozy warmth in behind. Body is on the thin side. Flavour is quite nice, sweet caramel malt & fruit, and a bit of spice. Hides the 8% pretty well. Yeah, it’s pretty good.

Mar 28, 2007 Bottle (650ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and jerc, blankboy’s bottle via trade with CapFlu. Poured clear orange-amber with a nondescript head. Mild aroma with a bit of booze, citrus, and caramel malt - sweet. Tastes of tart fruit, light caramel malt and pungent sweet spice, the alcohol is less pronounced than in the aroma, but still quite sweet. Slick mouthfeel, average body, fairly weak carbonation, the alcohol and tart, slightly acidic fruit emerge somewhat in the finish. Decent, if a little thin,

Nice malty, fruity & spicy aroma. Flavour of caramel malt, fruit and lots o’ spices. Alcohol’s well hidden. Medium bodied. A pretty good version of the style, i enjoyed it.

Mar 23, 2007 Bottle. Tiny white head tops an amber body with some protein floaties. Fruity aroma with a spicey note to it, light alcohol character. Very spicey flavour, moderate malt and caramel, dry finish, light spice notes from the aroma. Average palate. Pleasant, not a superstar but quite nice. Alcohol is very restrained in the flavour.
