Jun 3, 2009 From a chilled bottle. Poured a light copper color with a slightly off-white head. Aroma had a big caramel malt note mixed with som bread notes. Flavor was really sweet with caramel like notes. Hops were present but marginal. Finish was nice and smooth. Needed a little more body, it seemed a little light to me. Coldness probably affected the flavor.

May 14, 2009 Pours a clear copper color with a decent yellowish-white head. Aroma is sweet roasted malt and caramel. Sweet malt flavor of maple syrup, caramel and spices. A very good effort, but far too hoppy for the style. Of course, what would I expect from a Hopland, CA brewery?

May 14, 2009 A clear amber color with a very small and short lived head that ends in an uneven layer. Aroma is fruit and sweet spice. Taste is quite bitter with a big hop profile that is somehow subtle. It is also fruity, floral, and spicy.

May 12, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a copper color with a relatively small white head. Aroma is malts. Heavy malts, like "malted milkshake malts." Many probably wouldn’t find this appealing, but I loved it. An interesting change of pace from the heavily hopped beers I’ve been consuming as of late.

Apr 28, 2009 (Thanks to Headbanger for this tasty little bottle) - Color is a deep golden brown with good carbonation and thin tight head. Aroma of caramel and malt. Taste is creamy and sweet. Starting with a medium body it goes down smooth with a creamy feel. Finish comes out sweet with caramel and fruit then a touch of floral hop flavor and an even bitterness. In the after taste the fruit stands out a bit more, as the bitterness fades you get a touch of alcohol. This is a great brew, the fruity esters give it an almost Belgian like feel.
