Mar 12, 2005 Red-amber in color. A thicker, moderatately tight head. You can smell the smoky roasted notes immediately with this beer. Flavor at first is crisp and the roasted flavors quickly come out. The roasted flavor is definitely not a strong coffee roast, it is more mellow. Like roasted grain. Heavy enough to keep you warm in the winter, and yet not so heavy to weigh the palette down.

Mar 12, 2005 Updated: Apr 12, 2005A truly complex beer. Each sip goes through a myriad of flavor stages. A distinct roasted flavor and the thin red-amber color give this away as a winter seasonal, but what truly stands out is its intricate aftertaste. Going from roasted, to tangy and mellow, and then to slightly sweet and crisp, this beer packs in a bewildering amount of taste, although nothing stands out in paticular besides the roast. The taste is disarmingly nice, faints hints of everything, but nothing overpowering. A distinct treat.

Mar 1, 2005 Nice creamy head. Roasty & malty flavor with some alcohol, warming; mouth filling- the head is resilient- has a nice dark brownish amber color. Bittersweet, raisiny flavors - tasty!

Feb 15, 2005 Orange and red in color. Had it of tap and didn’t seem to come out that much after warming up. I thought the smell was weak but sweet and fruity. Taste is almost the same good flavor but doesn’t linger on.

Feb 7, 2005 Rich red-orange color with diminishing white head. Aroma of sweet malts and some orange-citrus. Flavor is sweet like a light caramel. Finish is acidic, not very bitter. It tastes a lot like their dunkel as it warms. Medium palate, very smooth.

Jan 14, 2005 Continuing my tour of Capital and Schell, thanks again to Duane. This one is orange with slight ruby edges and a small head. Aroma of big fruit, some spice, caramel malt, and a sweet berry component. I even sensed black pepper and a first aroma trait for me.....CANTELOUPE! Marvelous aroma. Tastes caramel malty, fruity, spicy, black peppery, with a cabernet/finish. I love the aroma, I love the taste, and I love this beer.
