Jul 17, 2008 The aroma has deep toasted malt, piny hops and caramel. The appearance is mahogany with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bitter finish. The palate is thin. Overall a decent but not great beer.

Jun 2, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 2008Bottle, courtesy ditmier I believe. Pours a dark ruby brown color, big fluffy tan head. Creamy malts in the nose, some blunt hoppiness, and fairly balanced. Chocolate, some spices, caramel, overall malty feel. Raisin in there, too. Hoppy finish. Very easy drinking, medium-bodied, smooth like velvet, well-balanced.

Jun 1, 2008 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at John’s Marketplace in Portland, Oregon. A 2006 vintage pours a semi-clear dark copper amber brew with a thick, creamy off-white head that slowly dissipates to cream top and off-white ring with some spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, flowery hops, some dark pitted fruits, a touch of brown sugar and rum. Taste is smooth, malty, a little dry bitterness some some flavors of toasted caramel malt, roasted nuts, brown sugar and toffee. Finish has a sharp bitterness that lingers after the finish. Aging has done some nice work on this winter warmer.
