Aug 15, 2004 Purchased in the 22 oz sceen printed bomber.
In appearance this is a dark brown beer, with ruby accents..with a bubbly tan head.
the aroma is mainlly malty almost in a doppelbock way.
This has a fairly complex variety of tastessweet to start, then a surprising "fizzy" sourness on the sides of the tongue..followed by a long and pleasant bitterness.Some accents of bitter camp coffee come to mind.
Very good and exciting in the mouth..long finish.
A nice tasty ale from Siletz..a good brewery.

Jun 20, 2004 Hoppy , with a bit of malt aroma. Body is a little to the thin side with a decent hop balance. Almost a bron ale in my book.

Jun 7, 2004 Tap@Siletz Brewpub. Pretty thick and hoppy. Darker caramell toasty malt, with a huge hit of lychee and pine from thehops, i dunno perhaps i’m starting to like these overhopped US ales?

Feb 2, 2004 Pours a mohagany color with a *huge* head (took me three pours to get through the bomber even while being careful) that was quite chunky (rootbeer float-like) that left a thick blanket down the side of the glass.
Scent is nutty malt with a touch of hops.
Taste is nutty malt with some darker fruits and some natural spices thrown in (not added but inherent in the barley, methinks). There's a definately hop/citrus presence, but not as much as I thought there would be. This reminds me of a Brown with a bit more hops; it's well balanced.
Mouthfeel has a nice bite to it and it's thicker tahen I was expecting. Overall this is nice. It's not something I'd want all the time but definately good for a change of pace.

Dec 19, 2003 Dark reddish amber color. Medium head. Aroma is malty, fruity and a touch sweet. A medium bodied strong ale. Malts are nutty, fruity and sweet. Hops are piney and slightly bitter. Fairly large rich malt tastes in this beer. It’s a little harsh tasting, and I think there are some of those “I can’t identify Christmas Beer spices” in here as well. It’s a very easy drinking winter warmer. Sort of grows on you. Painted beer bottle. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and a touch dry. Aftertaste is bitter.
