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.

does not count  Aug 20, 2008 Pours a reddish amber with a tan head. Very hoppy in aroma and flavor. Not my favorite style but definitely a well brewed beer.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours red/amber with a fluffy white head. Sweet hoppy aromas. Very hoppy flavour, the alcoholic content makes for a peppery taste. Could only have one of these, very strong (but quite nice flavours).

Aug 19, 2008 Alluring dark red with a tan head. Tootsie rolls in the aroma; caramel, toast, some alcohol. Dry; toast, dried fruit, and mild grassy notes in the flavour. Ends with dark caramel sweetness, balanced by firm English hops. Fantastic, incredibly complex, balanced English ale.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle. Big airy tan head. Beautiful shiny deep amber colored body. Excellent lacework. Strong nutty malt aroma with notes of caramel, dark fruits and earthy hops. Taste is full malty and has an inviting sweetness. Dark fruits and spicy tones, and more earthy bittering hops. Well-bodied. Balanced and smooth. Fine bitterness in the finish.
