Mar 30, 2007 Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Reminds me more of a porter. Has a lot of spice and hops compared to the downtown brown by this brewer. Very creamy with a great finish. Very impressed with this brewer.

Mar 11, 2007 Draught @ Lucky Baldwin, Pasadena. Pours a dark brown almost black color with a tan head. Malty aroma with some hints of caramel. Sweetish malty hoppy flavor with hints of licorice and caramel. Sweet malty finish with a bitter aftertaste.

Mar 3, 2007 Bottle purchased at Bodega Blue... Clear, dark copper ale with a small, creamy, khaki head. Discreet nose of chocolate and caramel malts. The flavor is sweet and nutty with notes of chocolate and caramel. Full-bodied and creamy with medium carbonation. Lengthy, toasted, bittersweet finish.

Feb 27, 2007 Spices and roasted malt in the aroma. Flavor is slightly nutty with smokiness and hoppy bitterness in the finish. As I drank it I actually liked it less and less, I noticed more flavors that I did not enjoy as I went on. (Note: this was the 03/04 ale version)

Feb 14, 2007 Aroma: bread, slight spicy notes, dark raisin almost licorice... a little chocolate and some alcohol peeks thru as the beer reaches room temp
Taste: first words oooh that’s nice... opening notes of licorice, some molasses, bready and slghtly nutty with a restrained hop bite... with just a touch of chocolate leading into the finish
Medium light bodied finishing clean almost light with a short crisp chalky finish...
Overall: A very well made brown... actually surprised me... Not something to pass overlook for a winter brew

Feb 5, 2007 Bottle: Brown body with little head. Not much to look at to be honest. The aroma included grape-like sweetness, with hints of syrup/molasses, bread-like sweetness, caramel, and licorice. Licorice flavor is prevalent in the mouth, particularly in the finish, combining with the hops for a spicy, balancing finish. The caramel malt entry mixes with spicy @mid-palate then the chocolate/roasted malts make an appearance before the nice finish. Definitely on of the better winter seasonals I’ve had this year.
