Mar 23, 2006 this was actually completely different then i thought it was gonna be. for one the color was a dull copper brown with a mealy tan head. nose mostly of sweet caramel malt. flavors are thin on the palate but mostly of the sweet bready toffee genre.

Mar 18, 2006 Bottle shared with tupalev, jerc, blankboy & HogTownHarry - courtesy of HogTownHarry. OK, we didn’t expect much from this, but it was still a little unfair to have it right after the Girardin Gueuze Black Label. Pours a dark amber colour - actually looks pretty nice. Aroma is sweet, not unpleasant, but grainy. Flavour is grainy as well, with some mild caramel notes and a hint of hops. Pretty much what you’d expect from a macrobrewed winter ale.

Mar 16, 2006 Not a bad beer from a brewer I normally would not buy from (the name through me) but this isn’t on par with a real seasonal ale.

Mar 8, 2006 Nice brown Belgian appearance, head and malty aroma. Hoppy initially, dry and nicely malted but very drinkable after that, spice in finish. Not complex but pleasantly surprisingly solid beer by the macro. Full carbonation leading to medium mouthfeel. Dry but spice and sweetness in aftertaste.

Mar 3, 2006 This beer poured a nice amber color. A very creamy and slightly brown colored head. The head lasted the entire beer, stayed creamy and had some lacing. The aroma was very malty. Taste was slightly sweet malt. When I got about 3/4 of the way through the glass I realized this tastes like a VERY weak Rougue American Amber. I thought the beer was actually enjoyable and quite drinkable.

Mar 1, 2006 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, Jerc, and GregClow, Harry’s bottle. Stale malt, sugar aroma. Dark orange, no head. Some sweet flavour, stale, some earthy old hops. Pretty boring, but not wretched.

Feb 28, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, jerc & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear dark amber with a spare diminishing white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt and not much else. Flavour of grain and caramel malt with a really light bitterness. Light to medium bodied. It’s not as bad as I feared but it’s O.K. at best.

Feb 24, 2006 B ottle. Dark amber, samll white head. Sweet saccharine aroma, muted caramel. Rough grainy caramel malt, almost light astringency at times but that is not the right word. Light palate. Really rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.<P>
