Jan 9, 2008 2007 Vintage bottle: Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a clingy-lacing froth of light tan head. Aroma of semi-dry caramel and doughy English malts with a touch of English hops and light fruity esters. Body starts mild, dark caramely sweet with some earthy toasted malty notes and a drier semi-sweet finish. Has a hint of milk chocolate as well. A pretty good English strong ale.

Jan 7, 2008 My bottle had the Inn on the label too. Pours very very dark brown with a medium sized tan head. Smells hoppy with a bit of malt. Very wintery tasting. Roasty with hops, hints of coffee. Thick, sticky mouthfeel.

Jan 6, 2008 Mine is a differnt label with a sled pulling in to an Inn, the label refers to it as a "special ale" but other ratings seem to right on. Citrisy mixed with dark fruits, strong alcohol taste like a tripple. Very nice drink.

Dec 31, 2007 Tap @ Florida Tap Room. Pour deep red with a thin wisp of a head. should have asked for a room temp glass as it took forever to get a good aroma. Roasted malt with a hint of chocolate. Taste is a thick chocolate malt, roasted malt and dry. Not bad for a holiday beer.

Dec 31, 2007 Black with a strong, creamy half-inch, off-white head... coffee and malt hops balanced well... medium presence, with some roasted caramel... medium, creamy body that settles on the back of the tongue--smooth...hops abound--bitter but soft in its strength...as a Christmas celebratory, not bad--alcohol is slightly present and warms as the glass expires...

Dec 30, 2007 Another one from Shipyard that delivers like almost all the others. Pours bronze with a dense tan head. The aroma has light cinnamon, bit of butter and some bread. Medium / thin body with semi-sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with sharpness that’s very phenolic, light malt and over spiciness. The finish has sour licorice, mineral water and lots of astringency. Not one to seek out.
