Dec 4, 2009 Kind of fruity aroma with a pinch of smoke. Deep red chestnut in color, fairly clear with some bubbles. Very little head. Toasty caramel flavor is off the charts! Nice herbal hop balance makes me come back for more. Very quaffable with nary a hint of alcohol. A real winner!

Nov 30, 2009 2009 Bottle - Pours clear and slightly thick dk brown with a small off white head...aroma is dark fruit and malt, roasted nuts and yeast...flavour is sweet caramel and plums, leading into dark burnt sugar bitterness and a rough grain grit...fun balance between sweet and savory makes this a fun winter warmer...

Nov 27, 2009 pours deep ruby brown with lasting white head. nice aroma of chestnut and biscuit malt. as i take a sip it is somewhat flat on the flavor. some hints of sweet dark fruit but it quickly cuts out. no finish at all. not bad but not a fav winter.

Nov 27, 2009 Nice vanilla and licorice nose, but overwhelming alcohol backbone made it hard for these flavors to come forward. Needs more chewable malt characterisitcs.

Nov 20, 2009 Roasty, toasty malty backbone. Nice winter warmer with a lot of body. A little caramelly, a little hoppy. Really fizzy on the tongue. Pretty solid, though I prefer their IPAs.
