Jan 3, 2008 2007 bottling. Dark brown in color. Caramelly in the flavor but with a hop bite. Very nice for a winter beer. One of my favorites of 2007.

Dec 31, 2007 One of my favorite Winter beers. Greaty balance in the hops malts and the wintery caramel that all good winter drinks should have. Cheers!

Dec 29, 2007 2007. 12oz bottle. Pours brwon with red highlights. Thin, somewhat sticky, light brown head that laces the glass. Smells of sweet fruity malts and brown sugar with some hops in the background. Tastes sweet throughout with a quick biting bittereness on the finish. Caramelly and fruity(red) malts and hops. Has some body to the mouthfeel, nice full carbonation. Refreshing flavor for a winter brew. Not a whole bunch of spiciness or anything.

Dec 27, 2007 ’07. Bottle. Flashy label, ehh? Big malty nose, I smell toffee. Nice light brown color, dry finish. Enjoyable, not Deschutes’ best effort though..

Dec 26, 2007 Updated: Dec 27, 20072007 - Pours a rich, hazy red/brown, with little head. Nice aroma of fruit and hops. Enjoyed the bitter, malty flavor. Hops comes through a bit much for me, but is a fairly well balanced brew. Mouth is thin, and finishes dry. Wished for a bit more taste from a seasonal, but overall very drinkable. Prefer the 2007 to the 2006.

Dec 23, 2007 Pours a pure copper with a frothy thick lacing tan head. Smells of candied fruit, caramel with a barleywinesque hop character. Tastes of mild fruit, malty, and a very bitter and lingering finish. Thin in the mouth, slightly watery. Very drinkable and a nice twist on the style
