2007/2008. 550ml. Poured with a ver large off white head that lasted about a minute. Nice copper color, carbonated....mmmm....bubbles. Very "doughy" smell and taste. I made the mistake of tasting this on kind of a warm night. This would be a good beer for a camping trip.

Tasted 2/8/2008. 355ml bottle. 2006-2007 edition. Slightly hazy with an amber hue fading to golden. Spotty off-white head. Soapy bready cinnamon and toffee aromas. Touch raisins. Medium bodied and smooth. Fruit cake bready flavors. Spicy and peppery. Good hop finish and mild sweetness. Touch tart citrus note. Cinnamon and honey. Toasty and sticky with a pleasant lingering character. Very nice indeed!

500 ml bottle. Copper colour. Crystal clear. Tall white fluffy head. Estery aroma with a strong apple character. Caramel are also present with other complex malty and rich aromas. Hints of yeast. Crisp flavours. Rich malty flavours with caramel and chocolate. Medium-bodied. Finishes with a clean hop bitterness that lingers. Some sugary flavours towards the finish.

bottle. large head that went away slowly. smelled very hoppy. lots of carbonation in the palate. kind of has a watery after taste which is odd for a winter beer but not bad. amber color. this beer kind of reminds me of a strong "bitter". will have this again.

550 ML Bottle-Hazy amber color w/a moderate tan head & good lacing. Very easy drinking brew, flavors of caramal, toffee, nuts, & sweet roasted malt. Not overly complicated, but very enjoyable. Seems to be the mark of this brewer, they just make a lot of good, easy drinking brews; nothing wrong with that! Long, smooth malt finish, would be a good sesson brew, alcohol is well hidden.
