Mar 6, 2004 Pleasing but never overpowering C-hop mists easing into an appeasing creamy malt body...Effectual grapefruit and resinous hops mutually join the perpetual dry berries and chocolate for a beautiful balance...Classy tobacco and sassy peaches underneath...Just a bit more of everything and you'd get a nice, typical American barley wine...

Jan 1, 2004 Orange-red and highly active but no head. The beer is caramelly and grainy with a gristy finish.

Nov 23, 2003 Deep clear amber body, minimal head, but nice lacing. Sweet spiced aroma. Thick smooth palate. Taste is full of spices, toffee, and I got a lot of cherry flavors. Finished sweet, still with cherry notes.

Nov 6, 2003 Dark copper. Aroma of toffee, brown sugar and earthy malts. Fairly light for its size. Like a big “amber ale” – caramel, toffee and earth. Fruity notes (kiwi, peach). Sweetish earthy finish. Good balance.

Jul 9, 2003 I was pleasantly surprised at how good this winter seasonal was after being none too impressed with their summer seasonal. This beer is a dark amber color with a medium beige head. Some lacing is apparent. The aroma is nicely spiced with a pinch of malt and hops. Rich body with a pleasant mix of spices and warming alcohol, as well as malt and caramel. The finish is nicely spiced as well, making for a nice winter warmer in July.

Jul 2, 2003 Lightly vinous, fruity nose. Mahogany-ruby hue. Pale beige head. Moderate carbonation. Sweet, assertive malts. Medium body, herbal hops, very smooth, lingering hop finish. Very well balanced, very nice. Alcohol is nicely concealed.
