Dec 24, 2005 Had this one on tap at Clod’s in Corvallis. I thought it was very thin and not very warming for a winter ale.

Dec 21, 2005 Bottle. Mahogony beer with a light beige head. Spicey aroma with some hops. Spicey flavor with some caramel and roasty malts and resiny/citrus hops. Nicely balanced - though some may put it a bit on the hoppy side.

Dec 15, 2005 NIce reddish brown appearance. The caramel is there and you acan definitely feel the hops on the end of your tongue. It has a nut brown feeling to it to, but in a good way.

Dec 14, 2005 No head, but dark. Not much aroma from the glass, and a little thin on the palate. Balanced flavor, though.

Dec 13, 2005 Bottle. Pours a deep reddish amber with a very decent off-white head. A good amount of malt, with some hops. At first, I was not too fond of this do tom the flavors the deep roasting leaves behind. However, as I continued to sip and the beer warmed, I began to enjoy it and the caramel become more enjoyable. A very nice Winter.

Dec 11, 2005 On tap @ Falling Rock poured a clear ruby brown with a small but lasting amber head. Aromas of dark fruit, brown sugar and toffee. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of dark fruit and brown sugar with a light, semisweet finish.

Dec 7, 2005 Medium brown with a decent, diminshing head. Lots of caramels mixed with orange hops on the aroma. Plenty of grains and malt on the palate with a spiced background. Again, caramel. A round, full, and refreshingly simple Winter Ale.
