Tawny, nut-brown color, under a big, rocky, puffy, creamy-colored head, attractive and enticing. Aroma, nicely spicy, nutmeg and cloves, a bit roasty, with a good whiff of malt, good character, though I didn’t get so much of the hops that the label boasts of.
Taste: smooth landing on the palate, rife with dark flavors, rich, full-bodied. Hops arrive on the palate, and please the tongue, matched masterfully with malt. Nutty flavor predominates, though, mixed well with spices. Light, brisk finish.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 14, 2004 Modest head. Deep rich deep amber color with a nose of hops. Hoppy taste was present from the beginning. An excellent ale that I would enjoy again. Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 29, 2004 Great barleywine-like aroma. Color is a dark red. Medium bodied with some strong bitterness. Decent roasty flavor. Leaves a nice taste. Not really and IPA though, like ross said. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 3, 2004 On tap at the brewery. Poured a deep brown color with a creamy tan head. The flavor was nice and hoppy, though it lacked the overall fruitiness and complexity of the Endo. A great local brew. brownaler (379), Topsail Beach, North Carolina, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 3, 2004 Updated: Dec 6, 2005Rerate: This time the 8.5% version this beer has a lot more body to it this time. Appearance is darker and a little bit more of an aroma. I don’t see how anyone could not say this is not an improvement.
A very nice offering from Cottonwood. Tastes similar to Celebration Ale, though the finish seems a little flat.
