Jul 27, 2009 Bottle. Aroma is very malty, a bit grainy, reddish brown with a wispy off-white head. Grainy malt dominates the flavor profille, a slight lingering dryness. Just not a lot here and a boring dry flavor.

Jul 8, 2009 Poured a clear, dark copper color with a short lived, off-white head that produced minimal lacing. The aroma was old hops, iced tea, malt and light spices. The flavor was mainly iced tea and caramel malts. Thin mouthfeel with a dry finish. Blah.

Jul 8, 2009 Bottle from beastiefan2k - thanks Eugene! Clear copper with a thin tan head that quickly fades away leaving a small layer atop. Aroma of caramel, strong toffee, toasted malt and earthy hops. Taste is malt up front with toffee, caramel and moderate fruit with some citrus hops and pine to balance it out with some spicy notes. Average mouth feel with some moderate finish and a little burnt malt characteristic comes through as it warms. Not bad.

Jul 5, 2009 12oz bottle many times. Aroma is caramel and light early hops. Flavor is slight pine and earth hops but fairly sweet. This was a favorite early in my drinking career but I’ve mostly moved on.

Jun 27, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours out a deep brown with a mild tan head and little lacing. Aroma a solid mixture of caramel malt and light earthy hop notes. Flavor is more bitter than I’d like, but also too sweet in the finish, a very strange mixture in a beer. Not one of my favorite PNW holiday offerings.

May 26, 2009 nose filled with hops, a great foil to wonderful burnt brown appearance. well balanced flavor brings hops to greet nicely developed malt character which borders on roasted qualities, light coca cola flavors. palate is dry and a tad wet, which suits this beer just fine. good ABV makes this a very solid daily drinker, and then some!

May 25, 2009 Some spices in a sweet malt composition which is drowned by the wet texture to the point that it would be a better beer if it was dryer.
