May 31, 2004 Another beer better when it warmed, it was way too bitter at the start. I tasted no wheat and the hops were overwhelming. The carmel did kick in after a while and that was pleasent. While it has no aftertaste, I have no desire to try it again. While not offensive while you are consuming it, the bottle smells awful afterwards.

May 19, 2004 Nice hints of spice and caramel. Not over the top, and more bland than other winter seasonals, but still good.

May 5, 2004 Orange in color with a small head. Aroma and flavor similar to an English type ale. Earthy hop smell with a malty flavor. Decent brew.

Apr 15, 2004 Amber/brown typical winter beer. The alcohol is sufficient to make its presence known in the aroma as well as the taste, but is unobtrusive. The aroma also includes some unfortunate hints of varnish and/or banana. Sweetish.

Mar 28, 2004 This dark brew poured well with an amber body, but the flavor was a bit lacking in the spices and complex undertones of a great holiday beer.

Feb 24, 2004 An amber body with a light tan head that slowly dissapated over the drinking period. Also good lacing along the sides of the glass. Malty and a dark fruity aroma that was pleasant to sniff. Also, a mild hint of alcohol. A brief hint of sweetness then bitterness. Also some maltiness. I enjoyed it.

Feb 8, 2004 I don't know if I had a bad bottle or what, but this one was nice to look at yet not the best on flavor. Had a hard time finishing this one.

Feb 3, 2004 This was an excellent ale. This Winter Ale was a perfect deep amber color with a full head. The flavor was full of roasted malt and hopiness. The finish was a bit bitter but pleasant. Overall this was an excellent experience. I won this beer as a result of the Patriot's Super bowl win.
