Dec 11, 2009 12oz bottle (2009) into a pint glass. Pours brown but mostly red when held to the light, with a slight white-ish head. The aroma is some fruitiness, but a lot of chocolate, caramel, and nuttiness. The flavor has some chocolate, a bit of fruity esters, big nuts and roast, and even a dash of coffee. This isn’t a bad brew at all!

Dec 10, 2009 Dark beer with a very light tan head that had decent lacing, but is disappearing quickly. Two holes in my head detect a milky, creamy sweetness. The mouthfeel reminds me of my previous beer, Yeti, but lighter. I taste roasted or black malt and the twang goes to the back of my tongue and is a little more harsh than I’m ready for. Most of the finish is gone before the minute hand can swing around, then it’s time for another sip. I like this beer, but wish I had another Yeti sitting around.

Dec 10, 2009 Aroma of slight vanilla, spruce, and caramel. It poured a dark maroon color with great head and lacing. This brew has an initial taste of herbs, grass, and has a strong roasted malty finish. Decent on the way down. Overall this is another good reason to go to the beer store during winter.

Dec 9, 2009 Bottle: The aroma contains lots of chocolate and caramel along with some roasted nuts and alcohol. It pours a transparent reddish-orange with a quarter inch beige head. The flavor starts with some chocolate and caramel. The finish has some watery roasted nut flavors with some mild citrusy hops and just a hint of alcohol. Overall the flavor is pretty bland. It’s medium bodied with mild carbonation and a soft mouthfeel. I was really looking forward to this one, but it fell way short of expectations. I’ll have to give it another shot soon.

Dec 9, 2009 09-DEC-2009, bottle @home.
Beautifull dark amber with fluffy off-white head. It looks like an old ale:-)
Nose is quite complex with roasted malts, and some hoppy tones as well. Definately some barley wine tones in there due to the heavy malt precense, but then the hops and alcohol kick in, and I know it is no barley wine. Lovely aroma.
Taste is malty sweet charamel, very nutty, rye bread, mint, grape fruit, and loads more.
Very long and very bitter aftertaste. I love this beer. just my type. Complex, balance between malts and hops, and then the high alcohol level.
Great, Great Divide!
