I dint know what to expect from this one..I liked the bottle label so I got a 12.
It starts rather hoppy & does mellow quickly. To me it almost crosses over to IPA territory. So it may be a good starter for one looking to try something a bit more hoppy but, not so much so that it scares one away from moving foward to try other " hoppy" beers.
All in All..I would buy it again & found it to be okay.

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.
