Apr 17, 2008 I think this beer is a bit underated. Pours with a small, fizzy, light brown head that leaves a bit of lacing. Deep amber body. Aroma of fig, port wine and spices. Malty, chocolate, then spicey, and finally fig or pitted fruit taste. A bit too fizzy for my liking, but a strong showing for a Texas beer.

Apr 15, 2008 Poured into a Boulevard Bob’s ’47 pint glass. medium head, settles quickly. Golden brown with a red hue. Smells somewhat sweet with a hint of some spice that I can’t identify. Wow! Very full tasting and far reaching on the palate. Not overpowering, but full of flavor. Not really as sweet or spicy as I was expecting. TONS of flavors in there, but all somehow nicely balanced. Very tasty winter brew, highly rec’d.

Apr 14, 2008 Copper colored with an ok head. Smell is sweet, fruity, some spices, malts, and hops. Taste is spicy with a little hops kick. A little lacking but not bad.

12OZ twist-off bottle. Pours an orange copper color, thin tan head. Aroma of fruity sweetness. big sweet malts. smells like a fruit covered cheesecake. At first I thought this was an English BarleyWine, it smells so good. Flavor is a wonderful citrus hops. Crisp clean and refreshing. very balanced. Cheers!

Mar 6, 2008 There’s a lot of fruity sweetness here in the aroma, but also a mild kick of spicy hoppiness. It’s still plenty malty in the nose though. The flavor is about the same. A nice fruity sweetness with a little bit of spicy hop, but still plenty malty. It marks a nice dry finish. It’s not anything remarkable, but it’s nothing bad. Just bleh.

Mar 5, 2008 I’m getting a lot candy and sweet fruit in the aroma, strawberries specifically, also some boysenberry (or least what a Boysenberry Spritzer smells like). Also, brown sugar and some bread. All in all the aroma is too muddled and comes overall as dirty. Taste: moderate alcohol is present. Quite sweet, but finishes remarkably dry. The fruit comes back in the finish as well. Carbonation is too needly. Mild indistinguishable hop bitterness.

Feb 29, 2008 12 oz bottle thanks to TexasJeep. Pours a hazy dark orange with wispy beige head. The aroma is sweet strawberry, brown sugar, and some dusty earth and pine notes. The flavor is lots of caramel with a slight carbonic tartness, then some berry notes. Dries out and gets a little bit piney toward the finish. There’s some sweet wood (cedar?) and a little bit of warmth in the aftertaste. Not bad.

Feb 18, 2008 Mar. 2007 - Reddish orange pour, nice head and good lacing. Rich caramel aroma. Full rich malty flavor, dominated by caramel and a nutty/earthiness as well. Not overly sweet, and a nice bitter kick at the end. Wonderfully devoid of all those putrid Christmas Ale spices. Excellent.
