Dec 14, 2005 dark black pour small small bubbled brown head w/ ok lacing. Aroma is a sweet light carmel malt some barley and touches of lactose but very light. Fairly good carbonation and nice coating. Some light carmel malt grains barley and a real light grass hop w/ some hints of roastiness. Seems like to small a beer for a winter.

Dec 14, 2005 Roasted malts and caramel/toffee sweetness nicely balanced. Surprisingly spritzy on the palate, and very refreshing. Some honey, mollasses and brown sugar notes as well...but mainly caramel.

Dec 9, 2005 Deep red-brown body, thin light tan head. Aroma of toast, toffee, brown sugar, and earthy hops, perhaps a touch of grapeskin. Rich, bready body, with layers of toast and candies, hints of butterscotch, with a touch of dark fruit. Long, caramely finish. A bit more strongly carbonated than most lagers.

Nov 23, 2005 Deep, walnut brown with a creamy head. Aroma is sweet caramel and a hint of dark roasted coffee. Flavor is sweet, smoky malt with some dark chocolate and a nice hops bitterness. Lively carbonation with a nice medium bodied palate. Finish is bittersweet and roasty but a bit short. Very tasty and satisfying, especially when it warms a bit. Just what I need to get me through the winter.

Oct 16, 2005 Good amount of hops used in this beer but lacking in the amount of malt used. You can barely make out a roasted malt character with a light coffe taste. Forced carbonation adds a fizzy texture to the beer that oddly competes with the hop profile. Strange metallic flavour and a finish that fades too quickly.

Sep 4, 2005 Poured from a 2004 bottle, this beer is a clear mahogany body with a thin fizzy soda pop head. The aroma is caramel and light coffee (too weak). The flavor has some smoky characteristics along with dark roasted malts and a sweet bocky taste. Light coffee and tea. The palate gets creamy and thick if you don’t swallow it immediately
