Dec 9, 2009 The aroma is very average for the style with candy sugar, yeast, alcohol, spices, and fruit. The appearance is amber with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bitter finish. The palate is smooth but thin. Overall this would be better if the alcohol were better hidden.

Dec 5, 2009 Sweet aroma - Carmel, spice, sugar, maybe orange
Head was tall and faded very quickly
Appearance is clear and red/copper
Palate is carbonated but not too much - nice
Taste is strong and Malty - alchohol is strong (12%) but not overpowering to me.
I really like this, but think it will be much better this time next year.

Dec 4, 2009 nice fluff of orangish foam fades too quickly. I smell sugar, sawdust, almost orange. clear orange-amber body. candi sugar, almond. cleaner and sweeter than any malt liquor. alcohol and warming. not my kind of brew, but a well-turned example.

Dec 3, 2009 pours out honey dark gold with a finger thick head that was frothy and beige in color. the body is clear and has a really bright amber color with a good amount of carbonation rising up on the edges of the glass. the head settled to a bone gray cap and produced some delicate lacing. the aromas are kind of spicy and has a nice fruit note. there is some toffee along with candy sugar, and some roasted malts. it is medium bodied and is pretty smooth in the mouth. it has a nice alcohol note that is pretty potent. its kind of complex and very balanced with flavors including some bitterness from the hops, some roasted malts, slightly sweet, and finishes almost dry. the aftertaste is a little week but sticks to your tongue, but mainly in the back and the roof of the mouth. very enjoyable session beer.

Nov 29, 2009 Pours a clear orange-amber with a medium-sized ivory head that collapses after a minute. Aroma is nicely hoppy, with sweet floral aromas, and candy sugar. Creamy aroma too; pretty complex. Flavor comes in very sweet at first, then you get a bitter hop bite and alcohol. Pretty sugary sweet throughout. Gladly the hops hold this thing together for the most part, or else it would be a syrupy mess. Velvety mouthfeel, sticky finish. Overall, good to very good.
