Apr 18, 2007 Pours a transparent copper amber with a spotty-lacing frothy tan head. Aroma of toasty caramely malt with a hint of tart oranges and grain. Body starts with a fairly full, viscous, earthy maltiness and a smooth, slightly dark fruity finish. Fairly true to style, but not that interesting.

Apr 9, 2007 The alcohol was well hidden. The aroma wasn’t really overwhelming. The flavor was a good combination of hops, caramel, and spices. Couldn’t believe it was 9%. Solid brew.

Mar 11, 2007 Rich Brown with Red Hues...Light Sandy Ring. Rich Syrapy Caramel, Fruit and Spices on the Nose... Mouthfeel is Oxidized...and a Bit Light... A Biting bitterness on the Back of the Tongue... Alcohol is Subtle.. Bready Malt Notes...Toasted...Caramel/Toffee...Fruit...and Lightly Spiced. This Was Probably a Bad Bottle...But From What Can Be Tasted...on a Better Day, This is Probably a Nice Winter Warmer.

Feb 24, 2007 12 oz bottle courtesy of hopdog… thanks. Very dark brown beer with a tint of orange/ruby. Off-white head. Aroma is quite nice, sweet dark bread, toast and sweet spices. Almonds and toasted nuts. There is also a light tart lactic note on the nose as well. Flavour is sweeter than the nose would suggest. Dark toast, sweet plums and a touch of bitter chocolate on the back. Warming alcohol and sweet cinnamon, nutmeg and anise. Nice brew.

Feb 12, 2007 12 oz bottle from trade with Ty5592. Pour is layered with amber and a dark murky brown. Little tan head that is not retained. Nose is very sweet-honey and toasted malts stand out with a little fruity something in there. Flavor is sweet, chewy malts with a strong yeast presence and a side of water. Blah. Can taste a little alcohol in the finish. Balance could be improved upon. What is beefy yeast?
