Oct 28, 2008 Aroma headed up with piney hops, some banana and apple fruitiness, honey and buttterscotch malts. Slighty minty, peppermint.
Toasted malts up front (similar to fat tire) in the flavor. Piney hops with spice backing (cinnamin, black pepper, mint). Finish is sweet and substantial.
Palate has a buttery texture. Some dryness that mellows in finish.

Oct 20, 2008 Served cold from 12oz bottle. Poured amber/gold with a nice white head. Aroma is floral hops. Taste is very good, I think. Light-bodied, good malt/hop mixture with a strong hop finish. I was expecting middle-of-the-road, and I found something that I would call above average. A fine winter seasonal.

Oct 19, 2008 This is a really interesting beer. It is light in body, but full of flavor. I like the hop back-end. It is so clear too. I am drinking this while watching footall and the hoppy belch that filled my nostrils makes me happy.

Oct 13, 2008 2008 Bottle - Better than last years, pours amber with a medium head, aroma is malt and fruit?, flavour is decently bitter, nutty and lightly malted...not bad, well hidden alcohol, hopefully will keep getting better every year..

Oct 12, 2008 Not very good. Light hops and very little malt. It is kind of a mess, with an odd flavor of grain. Light brown color.
