Draft at the Ivy League. Poured a brown/red with a smaller tan head. Aroma took a long time to warm up enough to be noticed but when it finally did it was just some chocolate malts with a slight touch of spice. Flavor had some spice undertones over a malt body with a slight bitter finish. Perhaps if this beer was served at a decent temperature it would have been more enjoyable but then again with 160 ratings and a 3.21 average maybe not.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Off-white head quickly dissapears. Deep malt aroma. Dry caramel and nutmeg from front to back.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium caramel-brown color with a large tan head. The aroma was sweet and malty with touches of caramel and fruits. The flavor was bitter, tangy and fruity with a hint of caramel and nut. The finish was long, bitter and fruity. Decent.

Bottle... Poured amber with a light, beige head. Sweet, leafy malt on the nose. A nice bitterness in the flavors that was not in the aroma. Spicy and earthy which created a soothing-warming feel. No hop flavors and had a solid malt dominance with a smoked undertone.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a an off white head. Big malty caramel body with a note of honey scotch and spices. Big bitter hop note finish thin and slightly sour. Eh not for me.
