Dec 13, 2008 Pours clear amber into a snifter. Head quickly recedes to hug rim. Vanilla and citrus aromas. Crisp upfront with dark caramel turning syrupy. Sweet yet well balanced with a dry hop finish.

Dec 12, 2008 Pours a clear copper colour with a medium creme head that fades to a sudsy film. The nose is sprucey hops, roasted malts, and crystal malts. The booze is hidden very well in the aroma. The flavour is aggressively hoppy with a spicy crystal malt body that isnt as papery as other winter brews. This beer is very much reminiscent of The Bastard, though it is less citric. The flavour is also highlighted with resin pine and sweet, bready malts. It is slick and gently carbonated. Nice.

Dec 8, 2008 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Reddish amber with lasting flat head and lace. Fresh hoppy aroma with some mild malt. Medium malty brown sugar with ripe red fruit and assertive hop flavor and lingering bitterness. Medium body and carbo. This one is nice and fresh, full of assertive flavors. Very good.

Dec 7, 2008 Yummmm - O! Fine, fine beer. Poured with a very nice foamy, frothy head - some large and small bubbles. Appealing amber color. Nose was some malt and bitterness. Flavor is a really good roasty, dryish yet bittersweet along with some caramel/toffee malt characteristics. Great body. Excellent finish. Would be a session but for the percentage.

Dec 7, 2008 Not bad. Imagine Yuengling but with actual hops you can taste and more alcohol. It does not have the spices associated with most winter beers. Very drinkable, but not Southern Tiers best offering. Second Tier.
