Bottle [12oz]. Pours a deep amber with orange hies and a small diminishing off-white head. Sweet aroma of dark fruit, sweet malt, nuts, caramel and some alcohol. Flavour, also somewhat sweet, of alcohol foremost followed by sweet malt, brown sugar, caramel, nuts and dark fruit. Medium bodied. Not bad, it’s a bit boozy but I’d drink it again.

Dec 14, 2009 Pours a beautiful ruby red color with a big white head. The aroma is of caramel and apple with some cherry and some earthiness. The flavor is lots of good caramel and a light smokiness. There is an herbal hoppiness and some hot alcohol notes. Not too shabby.

Nov 13, 2009 12 oz bottle - pours a reddish copper color with a decent off white head. Plenty of caramel malt aroma with some fruit notes and sugar. Sweet, malty taste with a caramel, toffee and sugary finish - and hints of the plentiful alcohol hidden behind all of that. Solid brew.

Nov 8, 2009 The color is deep ruby red. Very little head. Hazy yet shiny and glassy. The look (misleading as it may be) points to that of a winter ale.
A vague smell of mild barley. Only a hint of a pale-smelling malt. An undefinable sweet berry aroma. Weak, yet still a bit saccharine.
Very sweet initial taste of cherry, but then a darker, more burnt berry. Dark but with a Nutra-sweet finish. Not my cup of tea. A double winter ale, with a slight Belgian ale/spicy finish.
There is a mild bite on the way down. Spicy and bubbly. LIke the feel of Coca-Cola. The flavors in this beer skew too much toward pucker, winter ale sweetness. Not bad... just not my style.

Nov 3, 2009 An amber beer with a small head. The aroma is very alcoholy & sweet, Wow all I can smell is just a heavy alcohol smell & absolutely nothing else, nothing but alcohol, no malt ,nothing but alcohol. The taste is guess what? Alcohol. An alcohol boozy taste with some maltiness. Am I the only one missing something here on this beer because everyone gives it an average rating & say they taste this & that but all I taste is alcohol & as I finished it it got more unpleasant. Blah an unpleasant drinking experience.
