Dec 4, 2008 Perfume resin hops with some real bite. Large frothy off white head. Sparkling clear with no particles. Lightly acidic initial flavor with a light bitter finish. Medium to full bodied with lively carbonation. A hoppy beer from a hoppy brewing company.

Dec 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear deep mahogoney with a slight amber tinge. Tand head that flattens but does not fade. Good lacing. Aroma of citrus hops, some toffee malts with some chocolate powder, a bit of alcohol, berries and unripe plums. A touch of leather as well. Reminds me of NB 2 Below. Taste is toffee, chocolate, leather, and nuts. THere are some faint hops in the mid taste and a berry and chalky malt finish with a bit of alcohol and bitterness in the aftertaste. Moderate carbonation and a touch creamy mouthfeel and just ever so slightly warming.

Dec 1, 2008 Updated: Mar 3, 2009Mmmmm.....now this will warm you on a cold winter night. ABV is solid, especially for a winter beer. Alcohol not present in the flavor. Very hearty to drink, with plenty of malt (caramel, biscuit, toffee) to keep you warm.

Nov 30, 2008 Very nice reddish brown pour with a nice but small head and solid lacing. One of those beers that actually taste better a little warmer, the heat brings out the caramel and tamps down the alcohol flavor a bit. Nice dried fruit flavor backdrop as well, very tasty and yet another winner from Great Divide.

Nov 30, 2008 11.16.08 Bottle given to me by Adamskillin. I’m so happy that the winter seasonals have started to roll in. They warm my heart and cockles. This brew from Great Divide was no exception and I will seek it out immediately. Very delicious.

Nov 29, 2008 Pours a brown/amber color with a nice white head leaving some lacing. Aroma of toffee, malt, dried fruits, plums, hops, citrus. Flavour is quite sweet at first but passes over in a pleasant bitterness. There’s notes of malt, toffee, dried fruits, hops and grapefruit. Full bodied, creamy and oily, average carbonation with a long, bitter, warming, finish. Very balanced. This is a very good beer, I must say. It’s something to sip slowly during these cold winter months. It probably improves with age, but I’m not sure if I can afford another bottle at the moment (it’s so many other beers coming to Sweden right now).
