Dec 12, 2006 Bottle poured a clear dark amber with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of bread, carmel and light earthiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, bread, light earthiness and a hint of molasses with a lingering bittersweet finish.

Nov 30, 2006 In the bottle from the beer of the month club. Thanks to pman. Pours copper amber with a dark beige head. Good size, thick and fluffy. Nice retention. Aroma is of chocolate and oranges. Sweet hop bitterness. A better than average flavor of toasted caramel. Nice pronounced chocolate flavor. The residual hops are pleasant. This could be a session beer.

Nov 30, 2006 12 oz. bottle from beer of the month club. Pours a beautiful, hazy copper with thin off-white head with some slight lacing. Nose is slightly malty. Finishes smooth with floral hops. I’m sure this beer is much better after a nice hike in the Tetons than on my couch in Philadelphia.

Nov 30, 2006 Im not a big fan of amber ales but this one was good. A nice brown body with a white head. A good malt nase on the aroma caamel notes with some mild coffee notes. A Nice sweet flavor with a hop finish. Smooth yet full.

Nov 27, 2006 Foggy amber color with no head forming, looks a bit like an old soda. Aroma is very malty with a slight hop background, light coffee hint also. Taste actually has a upfront hop content fading into a sweeter crystal malt taste with a bit of roasted malt showing up also. Pretty good.

Nov 17, 2006 Malty, candied aroma. Tea brown with a big frothy tan head, average label, OK cap. Grassy, seedy, tannic. Body is medium -- sometimes it felt a bit heavier, sometimes a bit lighter. I concur with the Right Reverand PorterPounder, this does finish out with some green peanut (or perhaps sunflower seed) notes in the middle of the tongue. The occasional roasty element. Overall, a bit on the acidic side, but a solid choice.

Nov 17, 2006 Rich, dark copper pour with sticky, off white lacing that leaves decent lacing. Toffee-like aroma with some smoked meat notes. Chewy, full-bodied flavor with some caramel, mint, citrus and peanuts. Thickish mouthfeel for the style. Thanks to Aurelius for this one - refugee from his Ale-in-the-mail shipment - plus I add a new state. Remember trying to find this place back in 2000 while visiting the Tetons - it is just over the border in Idaho - no luck - Google maps not around yet!
