Dec 20, 2004 Pours out a lovely ruby red colr, with a thick, creamy white head. Bold, outstanding aromatics: fresh, sweet, creamy, with dark, rustic notes, as well, slightly spicy, with cinnamon, fruitiness, touches of cheries, grapes, bright and lively.
On the palate, warm and tasty, and surprisingly smooth. Full malt, and dazzling hop play. Medium body, and it feels light in ABV, but is aflood with flavor. Quite delicious, but lacking some depth that would push it further.
As far as winter ales go, at the top of the middle, or near the bottom of the top!

Dec 7, 2004 Aroma has some notes of a barley wine. Dark fruit and malt aromas. Nice medium brown color. Somewhat yeasty, malt flavor with hints of spices, a dash of nutmeg?. Taste is interesting, the malts are underlining the other characteristics then kick in. Finish is smooth and tasty. Enjoyable just not a everyday holiday warmer. Seems similar to Sam Smiths winter welcome.

Dec 3, 2004 Not a bad beer. Reminds me of a toned-down Belgium Ale. A little too pricey to justify a whole six pack, but as a single it is a nice purchase.

Sep 29, 2004 Bottle. Nose is strong of toasted malt. Whoa now fella’s, pull back the toasted malts just a bit. They hit you like a 2 by 4. There is a kind of raw carrot taste along with some aroma hops. Finish is very clean and tasty. This one os kind of hard to describe. Overall it is malty with some spice on the back end. Very unique and drinkable. I wouldn’t drink this exclusivly, but I wouldn’t turn it down either.

Sep 24, 2004 Bottled. Spicy, toasted-malt and caramel aroma. As others have noted, I find a hard time placing the taste, although it is pleasant with peppery notes. Very nice!

Jul 24, 2004 Spicy Aroma. Dark amber oclor. Strong caramel, spice and earth tones present. After taste is earth malt sweet. Palate is little thin, but the mouth feel is good. Quite good in my opinion, very under rated!

May 23, 2004 Another Thanks to BeanDip and her man for sharing this beer with me last light at out drink-a-thon!
Very different! Pours a pale amber/brown body little tan head. The aroma is very light, salty and peppery. The flavor is a massive stew full of vegetables.. Carrots, kale, cabbage, celery, onions, and strangely… corn beer? It’s totally packed with vegetables and peppery spices.. Some notes of a toasty coco toffee malt snuck in there and the palate was pretty creamy. I really thought this was a unique and fairly tasty treat!
