Thin soapy head and some small bits of sticky lacing on dark amber. Caramel and vanilla aroma smells like an amber. Initial sweetness, metallic edge, caramel middle and a bit of hops in the finish and aftertaste.

Nov 20, 2009 Mild caramel and bready malts in the nose. Clear brown body topped by a low but lasting white head. Flavour offers caramel and bread-like malt characteristics with some light spicy hops especially in the aftertaste. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. Pretty innocuous, but at least somewhat suggestive of a bock. Tulip glass. Just above fridge temperature. Bottle purchased at the BCLS at Kingsgate in Nov-09.

Nov 20, 2009 Yeah. About as much a bock as their IPA is an IPA. Someone’s misreading this recipe book. It just tastes like any other Sleeman’s only sweeter.

Nov 17, 2009 341mL bottle. Pours copper with lasting white head. Caramel nose, some citrus. Body is creamy with sweet caramel notes, light hops in the finish. Not too bad for a sleeman product.

Nov 17, 2009 Thanks to Jer I think? Nice dark yellow / bronze, small creamy white head. Somewhat sweet aroma, a bit of alcohol. Taste is good - strong malt and alcohol bite upfront, decent metallic like hops in finish. Still has a slighlty harsh touch I would attribute maybe to the Sleeman yeast (I have no idea what I am talking about, but it seems to be a standard characteristic in their beers). The best of their John Sleeman presents series by far a very acceptable entry into the Ontario winter warmer category. A nice surprise.
