Nov 1, 2007 Pours dark reddish amber with a mostly receding light tan head. Aroma of fruity, resinous hops, citrus, toffee, and alcohol. Taste is sweet, hoppy and resinous with citric, piney, and toffee notes. Mouthfeel is full bodied and resinous with lush carbonation. Nice to see some English hops in an ASA.

Oct 31, 2007 Fresh Winter 2007 batch. Clear, dark reddish-amber body with crimson highlights. A minimal, cream colored head quickly dissipates to a thin, wispy film with a small, foamy edge. Random dots of lace cover the glass. The aroma shows resinous, piney hops over a toasted caramel malt base. Grapefruit is also present, though a bit muted. The flavor is comprised of a very smooth, toasty caramel base, with resinous and citrus hops, and just a touch of chocolate malts. The hops are really fresh tasting and considerably potent. Really well balanced. Medium-light bodied and very smooth, almost creamy. Pretty nice brew! I can see this one going down hill pretty quickly, so its definitely best consumed as fresh as possible.

Oct 21, 2007 Sampled @ GDBTF. Dark amber color, little head to speak of. Rather spicy on the palate, clean caramel malts, nice bitter finish;a bit of a surprise really.

Oct 18, 2007 Not much aroma and looks okay. Flavor lets the alcohol come through a bit much. Caramel flavor with hoppy bitter finish. Not bad stuff.

Oct 1, 2007 A deep red almost brown pour with a light off white foamed lace. A hop nose. A semi sweet flavor that is rich and smooth. A good finishing bitter. Just a solid palate that has good carbonation and mouthfeel. A beer I like.

fine tan head with lots of lace, draft aroma and flavor follows last years bottle, some nice caramel sweetness to balance the light spices, a biscuit character comes out with warmth to give it a nice spice cake essence, bitter finish is very light
