Pours the dark amber color we’ve come to know and love. Generous light tan foam head, dense foam and lasting. Color slightly clear. Aroma of medium-dark malt, sugars, caramel, and honey. Taste is mostly malty, a little bitter (slightly hoppy), and mdeium/thick. Slightly bitter finish, with a bitter-sweet malt aftertaste. Clearly premium pale malt like Halycon in this one.

Bottle. Pours a dark, semi translucent amber color with nice semi thick head with good retention. Aroma of dark roast, hops, with very slight floral, slight apple. Flavow VERY nice. Strong roast malt and maple flavor with great balanced hop bitterness to off set sweetness, and almost taste as if it was in a bourbon oak cask, but it says bottle conditioned on the label, I swear I taste wood tannins though with slight bourbon.. has slight alcohole spiceMedium carbonation with medium-full body. Great beer!, one to enjoy.

Amber with a dense head. Fruity aroma with noes of peach and apple. The flavour is powerfull and sweet with a lot of liquorice and a dry bitter ending that seems to last forever.

Deep amber colour with creamy large head that lasts well. Rich mouthfeel. Taste has a lot of hops, fruity and slighty spicy notes. Quite bitter. Nice floral hoppy smell. Dry, bitterish aftertaste.

Pours a beautiful amber with tight, foamy two finger cream colored head that persists. The nose is rich with caramel, malt, and a doughy influence. Flavor is malty and a bit spicy, with some dried fruit subtly peeking through. The finish is a bit earthy, yet clean and dry.

16oz bottle, pours amber/brown with a creamy, lasting light-brown head. Left great lacing. Aroma of malt, caramel apple, figs and dates. Initial taste lightly sweet, moderately acidic, finishes a bit bitter. Medium to full bodied, with slightly creamy, dry finish. Very nice beer all in all!

pours a deep tan color, lots of well-formed head. aroma is a little fruity, hints of spices. taste is malty, with a bit of a fruity/dry finish. very well balanced, no hop bitterness (pretty much the only way you can tell this thing has hops is the fruity undertones).

Bottle, courtesy blankboy. Pours a clear copper color, with a big fluffy white head. Looks like a comfy pillow. Lacing clings to the glass. Chocolate in the aroma, with a bit of caramel-malt. Peach? Apple? Interesting. A rich malty body, with raisin and a spicy finish. Thin-bodied, refreshing and drinkable, but nothing overly impressive.
