Jan 12, 2007 12oz bottle from Florian’s. Reddish brown translucent body with a quarter inch of off-white head. Aroma is dominated by a slightly roasty, caramel malt character. Flavor is nutty, caramelly, and roasty, with a hint of diacetyl. Medium in body, but a little lighter than expected. Fairly drinkable. An okay beer. Not the best I’ve had from them (either Carrabassett or Casco), but a decent beer anyways.

Feb 12, 2005 OK ... everyone has his or her own extremely differentiated preferences. My expectations for this were quite low, since I have not much cared for the small New England brewers other than Allagash. This one is great. Rich copper color, like a Fullers 1845, small head but great lacing (I know, not what the other reviewers saw). Lots of malt, enough bitterness, and enough spicy bite that I wondered if it had clove or ginger added. Strong sweet malt, caramel toffee, floral, fruit, and bitter hops, all in balance. Makes me think of a Fullers 1845 in taste as well.

Mar 19, 2004 Hazy, copper color with a caramel malt aroma. Good sized creamy white head with minimal lacing. Woodsy flavor with toasted malts and dark fruits coming through in the taste. Smooth, lightly hopped, lingering finish.

Jul 20, 2007 (Draft) Tasty caramel and fruitiness...Pours dark amber with one finger of biscuit head. Aroma of caramel, vanilla, yeast, fruity hops and perhaps nutmeg. Medium-bodied, lightly fizzy. Nice light rings of lacing. Tastes lightly spicy, nutmeg perhaps with light bitterness overlaying and carrying a light-medium bite through finish. Nice yeasty freshness. As it warms a nice caramel maltiness emerges and merges with the hop fruitiness. Pretty solid.

Feb 7, 2005 Bottle at jeffc666’s Birthday Gathering. Courtesy of argo0, I think. Carbonated copper body. White fizzy head. Aroma is mild hops, light spice, caramel, and faint fruit. Taste is fruity (citrus) and lightly hopped with faint spice and hint of tobacco. Body is medium with big carbonation. Finishes with more spice and hops and light fruit. Not too bad.
