Dec 2, 2007 Bottle. Clear copper with some butterscotch in the nose. Grainy to caramel malt flavor with grassy and earthy hops. A bit of an overchewed gum note as well. Slightly fizzy medium body. Meh.

Dec 1, 2007 The beer pours slightly dark copper. Is this Ringwood, am I supposed to dislike this? Its a bit butterscotch and toffee, more so in the aroma. A bit spicy yeastiness. Eh, another Middle Ages beer.
12oz bottle, small goblet glass.

Nov 21, 2007 On tap at Mahars. Amber copper color, lacking any noticable aroma from the pour. Complex flavors ranging from a spicey fruity (close to a cider) but balanced off by bitter hops. Not a bad winter ale.

Nov 14, 2007 Beautiful deep copper color with a thick white head. MAlty arom with a touch of hops. Toasted malt and carmel come through before the hop bittereness kicks in, Very complex medium mouth feel beer. One of the best "Winter" ales out there.

Apr 13, 2007 The ringwood yeast is prominent here and it accompanies the aggressively hoppy clover-like flavor I’m starting to associate with the MA beers. The body seems a bit too light for a winter warmer. Balance doesn’t seem to be here and its hard to gauge this one.
