I have to say I enjoyed it, and I liked how it was hoppy, and you could definitely taste the spice. Put me in a winter mood! mbtrailbuilder (1), , North Carolina, USA does not count | 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 28, 2009 Good aroma, nice copper color, light head, but the taste let me down. I was expecting more body with the 6.6% alc. content. Definitely not a bad beer, just didn’t balance the hop and malt that well for my taste.

Flavor is very smooth caramel malt and hop finish with a little pepper. Its solid. pintocb (510), Darsville, Georgia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2009 Amber color. Hoppy nose, floral, not citrus. Some malty notes that lean toward a chocolatey taste at first, but followed by a lovely pine flavored hoppy finish. I wasn’t sure what style this would be, and I’m not sure it is a perfect fit as a premium ESB, but I’m not sure where else to put it. Thought it might be an APA or even a weaker ASA. Wherever it’s classified, I like it. nathan30533 (141), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 27, 2009 Bronze in the glass. Not much head, not much lacing but I think thats the style. The beer is almost lost everything i seems. I don’t know if it was the process. I like the hops but I have to stretch to taste or smell them. Good overall. I think it could have been great if something just would have changed. Maybe it’s that Im drinking it at such a cold just not flavorful temp. slitcher (94), Freeport, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Pours a dark golden with a medium head. Aroma of bread, nuts, and floral hops. Sweet malt up front with a nice bitterness and a hint of bread; slight alcohol in the finish. Medium body, not bad at all. KDorgan12 (169), Memphis, Tennessee, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Nice crisp tawny brown color with shallow head. Strong hop aroma - citrusy but flavor profile is very nutty and caramelly. Whole lot going on in this one. AtlAggie (133), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 23, 2009 12 oz bottle. Light amber color, pretty good head. Aroma is bready, with malts and light herbal hops. Flavor is mild roasted malts, touch of floral hop bitterness, and finishes with a more herbal hoppiness that is reminiscent of a white tea. Sort of unexpected. Pretty good session beer, easy to drink, pleasant.
