Aug 31, 2009 My favorite item at the brew pub out of seven beers I tried. Nice amber, brown sugar malt taste with some nutty spices and cinnamon. Creamy full body. Lightly sweet, but not too much. Surprisingly smooth and drinkable. Light carbonation. Needed a little bitterness and it would have been even better.

Apr 6, 2009 ON tap at Portland location. Color was darkish amber with an off white head. Aroma of sweet malt and fruit. Flavor was the same with a lot of sweetness and sugar. A bit earthy as well. Some floral and yeasty notes in the finish. Solid.

Mar 15, 2009 On tap at the pub in Portland. Copper colored pour with a moderate white head. Nice spicy aroma, nutmeg and caramel. Taste is a little too sweet for me, very heavy on the brown sugar and caramel. A solid offering.

Sep 2, 2008 Caramel colored and cloudy with a small head. Smell is caramel with some spice; cardamom and nutmeg. Flavor is a little watery. Sweet. Toffee, raisins, brown sugar, apples. Feels good and wet going down. Good, but I wish it had a more full flavor.

Aug 24, 2008 Winter spiced aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon, and dried oranges. Very dark brown, orange hues on the edges. Great use of the spice to compliment and support the beer, nothing fights for attention here. thinner mouthfeel than expected, gulping this was no problem.

Aug 21, 2008 Copper with tan head. Malty sweet aroma typical of dubbel. Spicy malty flavor. Good dubbel for an American brewed beer

Aug 18, 2008 On tap at the Portland Deschutes pub. Pours dark brown, red hues at the edges, small white head. Sweet malt nose with a nice spiciness to it. Caramel and dark cherry flavors to the malts, soft clove to the spices in the finish. I thought this turned out to be a really nice beer, my only thoughts were a bit more dryness in the finish would have helped.
