Jan 5, 2001 What a great winter ale! Deep crystal clear garnet color. Almost looks like a bordeaux when held up to the light. Lots of dark roasted malt and spicy hops in the nose. Moderate body and smooth texture. Pleasant balance of sweetness and the hop bitterness on the palate and in the finish. Very well done!

May 24, 2001 Bitterness dominates at first, although closer look reveals sweet malt and creaminess. Bitter aftertaste complemented by chocolate malt and fruit. Irritating label.

Feb 21, 2002 Clear ruby/copper with a very thin edge head. Light carbonation. Fruity aroma (cherries) with some caramel malt and earthy hops. Medium body, fruity, spicy and lightly sticky. Tremendous English Old Ale qualities, although weaker. Lightly bitter and mildly sweet. Not an intense amount of flavor, but solid (a la Young’s Winter Warmer). Finishes slick, juicy and dry. Thank You Gusler.
