Jul 10, 2008 Enjoyed this winter warmer on a hot July day. A nice looking clear amber colored brew with a one finger light orange hued head and plenty of carbonation. A malty nose is robust and offers roasted nuts and sweet caramel. Flavor reminds me of a porter and is heavy with roasted nut and dry dark chocolate. Some nice November types of spices and cooked brown sugar. A smidge of hop brings the smallest bit of bitter and tart effects. This is an sweet beer that is enjoyable and dangerously easy to drink.

May 23, 2008 Delicious hazelnut flavor. I used to work at a coffee store and their Hazelnut coffee wishes that it had this flavor.

May 18, 2008 Courtesy SoLan. Pours a maroon brown, with a small foamy light brown head. Smells of some definite caramel malt, a little nuttiness to it, along with a touch of some dark fruit. The flavor has got some noticeable roast to it, went along with the nuts and dark fruits that all blended together to formulate this beer’s identity. Pretty decent drinking brown ale, i think maybe a touch underrated.

May 10, 2008 Medium brown with a light tan head. Aroma is sweet and nutty, with some raisins and toffee, and a touch of roastiness. Flavor sits firmly on the sweet side as well, nutty, slightly earthy, with toffee and caramel as well. Very slight spicy bitterness. Medium-full bodied.
