Jan 14, 2009 This seemed like the definitive winter ale. Tap... Poured reddish with a white head. Floral aroma. Good American strong ale with plenty of hops and sweet alcohol flavors. A little of a soapy finish, but not in a bad way. You know, this was a great beer, it may have gotten a better rating from me if it wasn’t overshadowed by their Epic ale and Flanders Red ale.

Nov 26, 2007 On tap at Roots Organic Brewing in PDX--Poured a rich mahogany-amber body with a minuscule off-white head. Nose of sweet malts and piquant PNW hops. Nutty, earthy, and piny with a rich bountiful mouth feel. Very enjoyable brew!

Nov 19, 2007 Tap @ Brewpub: Mahogany, no head or lacing. Nose of sweet light caramel and sugar, lots of melanoidins. The flavor is a bit spicy with hops, earthy, nutty and spruce and tangerine in the finish. Not doing much for me but it’s good. Malty tail.
