May 18, 2005 Although a fan of the former Dogwood, I just can’t seem to enjoy any of the winter beers I’ve sampled. This version is darg gold with a malty and spicy nose. Taste is slightly bitter (off?) with flavors of nutmeg and orange.

May 12, 2005 05.07.05 Big ol’1liter swingtop bottle #73/2500 at Heavyweight open house. I think this one was courtesy JFURYCAT. Dark straw and gold, little head. Aromas of honey and melon, bit of wood(?) and butterscotch, plus biscuit. Thin body and pretty flat at this point, but still quite tasty. If anyone still has this stuff, I’d drink it ASAP. Coating still, and an unusual lingering grassiness that must be rye.

May 9, 2005 After having a couple 12 oz bottles I wasnt impressed but after sampling the larger bottle I was surprised that I liked it so much. Nice hazy orange with a decent spritzy head that fades slowly. Moderately spicy with some clove, and possibly coriander and yeastiness. Possibly some notes of coriander as well. Flavor is also a bit yeasty with lots of phenolics with slight fruitiness- maybe some banana? Also hints of alcohol, but overall very nice and smooth in the finish.

May 8, 2005 Hugh bottle numbered 73 of 2500. Poured a cloudy, amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of spices, citrus, and toffee. Tastes of the same with caramel. Has a light candi sugar sweetness to it as well.

Nov 6, 2004 Milky orange gold w/firm white head. Vanilla malt, carmel and pear flesh aromas. Med-heavey weight w/drying sweet/sour finish. Carmel, raisen, toffee, some bitterness and light yeast flavors. This may be old but damn it’s good!

Nov 5, 2004 RBMNG 10.30.04. I believe it was slikwily that arranged for this rare vintage Dogwood Winter Ale to be served at our recent Ratebeer Minnesota gathering. There was concernthat it might be past its prime, but I think it proved itself to be one of the stars in our star-studded 21 beer lineup that evening that included no less than 7 top-50 beers. Unique aroma with saffron notes. White head; lasting. Good amount of visible carbonation. Nice lace. Saffron flavor with toffee notes. Well balanced. Nice complexity of flavors and sugars.
