Clear, light brown/amber color, smallish off white head with a slight brown tint. Flowery hops dominate aroma, slightly sweet. Not as heavily bodied as I expected, light feel. Rich and hearty don’t fit so much, but clean and dry do. Not as much hops as the aroma would suggest, rather a decent balance of malt/hops, but for the hops and somewhat complex flavor there should be a stronger malt background, it’s just too thin. Not too bad, though.

Jan 6, 2009 On draft at Chimes in Baton Rouge, LA. Pours a cherry amber color. Aroma is piney hops and corriander. Flavor is a good balance of spices and strong pine hops. Drinkable winter beer and actually pretty good.

Jan 5, 2009 Clear brown/amber. No head. Mild aroma, toffee if any. "Drinkable", I guess. Mild if any hops, slight metallic flavor. Won’t buy next year.

Jan 3, 2009 12 oz. Pours a beautiful mohogany amber/brown, slightly cloudy with a thin off-white head. No lacing. Aroma is light, mainly pine hops. Flavor is light and fairly well balanced, but noticably more balanced towards the hops side. Roasted malts with earthy hops dominates the flavor. Palate is medium and slightly dry. Highly drinkable, but not great.

Dec 29, 2008 12 oz. bottle pours clean coppery brown with slight fluffy off-white head that leaves thick lacing as it dissipates. Aroma is of caramel and nutmeg with hints of malt. Front palate is malty, middle is nutty and rich and finish is roasted. Very, very roasted. Past the point of roasted to the point of bitter. Drinkable beer that could stand up to a nice wintery dish like pot roast with roasted veggies and potatoes.
