Dec 23, 2008 On tap at Gordon Biersh at Terminal D of the Washington Dulles Airport. I was expecting the Blond Bock, but got the Winter instead. This is probably much more in line with my taste. Clear ambar colur, with a small tan head; nice malty sweet aroma; and even nicer malty sweet flavour. Balanced aftertaste. With afour hour layover, I will have another.

Dec 17, 2008 Tap. Yikes what a mess. This beer is way to sweet and cloying even when fairly cold. Not balanced at all, one gets some hints of wheat and some caramel but this is sweet sticky syrupy mess. hated it.

Dec 14, 2008 On tap at GB Bollingbrook, Il. Fairly clear. reddish/brown color, with a light tan head with good retention and light lace. Nose is roasted malt, sweetness of dark fruit, with a little caramel and molasses. Flavor has the same notes with some light bitterness and warming alcohol. The body is medium to full, and the texture is creamy. Nice job, Kevin.

Dec 8, 2008 Draft in D.C. Poured a muddy brown color with a nice big tan head. There was some major malt action going on in this beer. That said, it actually seemed a little thin and even though it was just a 7.5% it seemed a touch boozy. Not bad though.

Dec 7, 2008 Thanks Fidel for the bottle. Pours deep brown with red highlights and a halo of a tan, big bubbled head. Big nose of molasses, caramel and a touch of licorice. Similar flavor with just a hint of soy and some chocolate. Medium viscosity and slight bitter finish.

Dec 6, 2008 Draft - DC. Dense brown, creamy light tan head. Brown sugared raisin and dark toasty aromas ride soft wafts of cherry and smoke. Malty warm fig and raisin flavors balance on soft touches of smoked cherry throughout. Rounds with a nice hop bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Well done in my book...

Dec 6, 2008 Little discernible aroma. Flavor is caramel and toffee, with some hints of prunes. Not really anything to get excited about.
