12 ounce bottle shared with and courtesy of Alraomon. Thanks Sean! Pours a clear orange-red color with a thin white head. The aroma was somewhat weak, but did come across as earthy and hoppy. Taste is filled with noble hops with caramel and grainy notes. Very bitter, but it sneaks up in a very pleasant way. Full bodied. Highly drinkable.

Bottle. Browish amber pour with a medium tan head. Aroma of toffee and caramel. Taste of malt, chocolate, caramel and brown sugar. Great full finish.

bottle poured into a shaker has an amber color with a thin white head that fell to froth on the surface. aroma has caramel malt, lightly roasted peat, sweetness, and grains. mouth feel is medium with decent coating and frothing creamy carbonation. flavor is well malted with sweet caramel but also has some richness. hops are towards the bitter side with a little pilsner character. bits of minerals come through and it becomes thicker with a malted finish and sweetness.

By far, Long Trail’s best beer. This "secret beer" or sticke, pours with a voluminous, erotic head and a deep copper, mahogany body. An appetizing aroma of caramellized malt, smoked meats, and butterscotch define this brew, and the tongue is pleasured by a velvet, buttery palate. The taste too, is very clean, buttery, and slick, sliding like oil over the tongue and bringing further hints of caramel, butter-toffee, toasted malt, and delicate, discreet hop dryness that make this beer the next best thing to a Dusseldorfer Alt, and the crown jewel of Long Trail’s brewing acheivements. I drank this, and all of LT’s other beers in a small town called Waitsfield, Vermont, not far from the brewery in Bridgewater Corners. The setting was perfect: under the stars on a cool summer night camping out in the Green Mountains.

Bottle 12 oz. 08’ camp in Millenockett. Pours deep nut brown with a tan head. Malts, bittering hops, steel cut grains. It has lots of alchol warmth and a slightly astringent bitterness. Its good at the price but not a fantastic beer.
