Nov 25, 2006 Bottle poured a clear tarnished copper. Aroma of bread, citrus and very piney, almost like a cleaning solvent. Bready flavour with malt and spice. Hoppy flavour with a metallic tang. This doesn’t remind me of any English strong ales.

Nov 22, 2006 Bottle poured a clear tarnished copper with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of bread, a hint of brown sugar, a bit of anise and plastic. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of bread, a hint of rye and light spice with a smooth dry lightly astringent finish.

Nov 22, 2006 Winter hook is decent, not overally hoppy i didnt think though. I dont know about a Metallic aftertaste though, maybe those guys were shot gunnin tall boy PBR’s before hand and had some can taste left over. A fairly decent winter ale, but ill go for a Summit instead.

Nov 21, 2006 Let the overhopping begin (or, I should say, continue). Decnt enough Mallt and spice base gets overwhelmed by hops. Not very true to style. Still, it does have its bright points- looks good in the glass and some thought did go into the malt.

Nov 20, 2006 12 oz bottle stating 6% ABV. Nice copper color with frothy off white head. Great lacing. Light malty aroma with some cinnamon and a bit of hops. The flavor sports a full caramel maltiness backed up by a grapefruit hop bite. Hidden between the malts and hops are hints of nutmeg and cinnamon.

Nov 20, 2006 Bottle: Reddish brown color with a smaller head. Aroma is very light, bready with some spice. Taste is malt with a hint of spice, some metallic notes and a dry finish. Not what I expect of an English Strong Ale...

Nov 16, 2006 Reddish amber, thin white head. Hop up in the front, awful dirty corn malt in the finish. Won’t try this one again.

Nov 14, 2006 Bottle. Sweet and spiced aroma, floral hops with pine, spruce, and sweet corn, and a little herby funk. Amber-copper pour with a short but sticky beige head. Grainy, lightly hoppy, and dry taste, a little gritty from spice. Toasty notes are way down in the mix. A little woody and a little nutty, and pleasantly dry, but a bland disappointment overall. And very light vegetal bitterness. Medium body and slightly acidic. Pretty nasty aftertaste.
