Jan 2, 2009 Batch 001. Pours almost black with a 1 inch beige head. Malty aroma consisting of dark fruit, spice, lager yeast, and some hop. Malty flavor with chocolate, hops, spice and some alcohol on the finish. Not bad, but not quite worth the asking price.

Dec 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with an off-white head. Average lacing. Aromas of roasted malts, fruit, and mild hops. Oily and smooth texture wit a nice, light taste. Overall an okay beer but more flavor is personally needed for me.

Dec 30, 2008 I actually like this a little less that the regular beer. Aroma was decent. Iced tea and burnt caramel. Pour was a nice deep murky brown with a one finger off white head. Taste was iced tea, dark and burnt caramel malt and a bit of dark fruit. Hides the alcohol well but doesn’t taste as full as the regular St Nik for some reason. Still a nice beer, though.

Dec 25, 2008 Bottle from Total Wine, opened on Christmas Eve. Pours a brown color with a large 2 inch tan head. The aroma is scarce, I picked up vague remnants of apple and grains. Flavors are similarly scarce and include toast, green apple, biscuit, malts, and grains. The body is watery thin with medium carbonation. A decent beer, no where near the top of my list of holiday brews.

Aroma is sweet malt, raisins, some ripe dark fruit, slight nuttiness. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of chocolate, dark ripe fruit, molasses, and hints of spice. Generally medium to full body with a lingering sweet finish.

Dec 20, 2008 750 that came in a fancy red sack. First beer Ive had from Penn, just seeing it was appealing, though it was a tad on the pricey side. Pours a nice dark brownish black with a thin head. Nose is nice with a sweet malty edge. Flava is nice and malty and pretty tasty with a bit of a sweetness and touch of caramel and chocolate malt. Not amazing, but pretty tasty, is it worth nearly $15, Id say no. Is it worth having if your buddy bought it and you got to try it, then yes.
