Dec 12, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle at home.
Dark amber with a very thin white head. Very boring, slightly spicy nutty amber ale. Faint cardboard, some bitterness in the finish. Very little to get excited about.

Dec 11, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper color, slight head. Aroma is malty, some sweet caramel notes as well. Flavor is extremely malty, with a crisp hop finish. Palate feels a bit thin. Overall, though, I enjoyed this beer very much. The flavor is quite a surprise, much maltier than I would expect.

Dec 10, 2009 Smells of cinnamon and nutmeg, I thought this was spiced for sure. Clear amber, small white ring. Tame with the caramel malt, gentle and persistent hop forward finish. Standard.

Dec 9, 2009 Bottle curtesy of Dickie Lowenstein. Pours a reddish hue with aromas of malt and spice. Flavors are also malty with a tad bit of spice at the finish. Sort of reminds me somewhat of an Octoberfest with some spice. Not overly flavorful or good for that matter, but then again this style isn’t my favorite.

Dec 6, 2009 12 oz bottle. Clear copper with an off-white head. Nose is faint caramel and cherry with a touch of grass. Crisp medium light with moderate carb. Taste is apple, toffee and nutmeg. Dry hoppy finish with a slight earthy bitterness.

Dec 4, 2009 (bottle) Pours a clear amber with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves a thin film on top. Aroma is big on barley, a hint of citrus, pastry dough, and an alternating scent of cherry cola and cherry hard candy. The taste is quite clean and crisp, albeit underwhelming, with some caramel, barley, with bitter orange peel and toasted malts on the finish. Some mineral taste here as well which I believe is accented by the fairly lively carbonation. Mouthfeel is medium. Considering the brewery, I expected this to be an above-average representative of the style, but it fell far short of those expectations. With that stated, this is still a solid session beer, and it would be serviceable as a good starter for those just getting into craft beer.

Nov 29, 2009 Pours a nice warm, reddish-brown with little head. Nutty, roasted caramel aroma. Flavor is woody, with nuts, chocolate, caramel, etc. This is one to enjoy on a cold winter’s night.
