Dec 14, 2009 Bottle. Deep brown pour with a nice tan head. Smell is caramel, honey, raisins. Taste is very sweet and malty. Definite caramel in the taste. Nice texture too....not just super smooth but goes down very easy. A quality beer - always impressed by Long Trail.

Dec 12, 2009 12 oz bottle, pours a pale amber color with minimal head. Aroma is sweet and spicy with some malt mixed in and is quite pungent at room temperature. Taste reflects the aroma and combines bitterness at first with sweet and spicy as the drink enters the back of the palate. Very full body and leaves you really feeling satisfied- great sweet/spicy aftertaste. Reminds me of Sam Adams with a little extra kick to it- absolutely full of flavor.

Nov 29, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer is initially surprising, given the fact that it is niether a doppelbock, nor a winter beer; given its name. It pours a relatively light color for the style, perhaps a medium amber, with a small white head. Carbonation is good for the style. Notes of toffee and caramel come through in the nose. A slight touch of hops also greet the olfactory glands, but not so much as to through the beer out of style. The palate is refined, if a bit simplistic. Slightly maltier than an English pale ale, but not as much so as the great scotch ales. The finish is clean, and leaves a lingering note of malt. Overall, a fine beer, but not quite in the same category as the finest examples.

Nov 28, 2009 Appearance: Pours a dull, cloudy auburn with a stripe of white suds for head. Leaves spotty lacing.
Aroma: Toast, caramel and fresh savory herbs.
Taste: Bitter Euro hops, bready malt, tart berry twang in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Thick.
Overall: Too bitter for me, and I just wasn’t impressed.

Nov 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours copper color with attractive off-white head. Aroma is earthy with sweet maltiness, peat, pine, and caramel. Flavors of caramel, pine, and wood smoke. Balanced, straight forward. Finishes quite dry for style. Highly drinkable on those cold nights.

Oct 8, 2009 mix pack.
Pour is brown with an almost tan but mostly offwhite head. Aroma is nutty with some caramel and dry fruitiness as well as some light chocolate. Flavor is more of the same, except the chocolate becomes roastier and drier. some light nutty and dark dry fruit flavors are present as well.. pretty nice, enjoyable
