12 oz Bottle via Arctic Liquors Beer of The Month Club. Pours a semi clear dark amber with an above average size beige head. Not much in the nose, just typical malts and some mild floral hops. Taste is the same with some added toffee, pepper, grassy hops and some nuts. Medium body. Average carbonation.

From a distinctive hop embossed Odell 12 oz. bottle, no freshness date I could find. Fall/Winter ’06 seasonal release. Poured a clear, bright reddish amber with a small foamy head that settled into a thin, bubbly, sudsy lacing. Aromas of buttery caramel and biscuits, a light toasted grainy and earthy hops. Moderate carbonation and a malty crisp, creamy smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Good malty taste with a nice hoppiness, toasted grains and buttery caramel, earthy, herbal hops, a soft, but lasting bitterness, the alcohol is well masked and provides a little kick at the end, and a dry grainy and herbal finish. Easy, smooth drinkability, tasty and balanced, one of the better winter warmers I’ve had in awhile.

Bottled, 2006. Pours a clear amber with a small fizzy light brown head, diminishing, with fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, cookie, grain), caramel roasted and nutty notes, light hops (flowers, herbs), average yeast (sweat, horse blanket, cheese) with notes of pear, butterscotch, smoke, corn/cabbage and rotten eggs. Average flavor duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness with mineral tones. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonation and a chalky finish.

Bottled. The body was medium amber with a slightly off white head. The aroma was old toffee with some cinnamon and peanuts. The taste was peanuts and caramel. There was also a nice roasted finish to this smooth and very drinkable beer. Another nice one from Odell.
