Aug 1, 2006 Bottle: Reddish brown pour with a thin khaki head. Aroma, caramel, some fruits. Flavor, smooth and malty, some caramel, a hint of chocolate, some oakiness. Sweet fruity finish, very little in the way of detectible hops. Enjoyable, but I know I used to think this was a lot better than it is to me now.

Jul 21, 2006 Pours amber-red with medium off-white head that lasts moderately. Nose is candy apple, caramel, dates. Flavor very malty with smoky and toasted overtones, very nutty. Not fruity like a porter, rather more like a sweet Scotch Ale. Finishes rather sharp and spicy. Yum.

Jul 17, 2006 Dark reddish brown pour with a pretty sizeable light tan head that dissipates pretty quickly. Aromas are wonderful of dark fruit and toffee. Flavor is pretty excellent as well. Dark fruit and a sharp molasses/alcohol warmth mix nicely with a bit of a peat/earth undertone. Ends on a fruit note that has a bit of a spicey bite.

Jul 14, 2006 330 ml bottle poured a clear reddish brown with a small diminishing amber head. Aromas of cola, some fruitiness, hint of molasses and light smoke. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of sweet malt, dark fruit, a hint of wood and some light cola with a smooth finish. A good beer but not as complex as I expected.

Jul 10, 2006 Tasted 10/06/2006. 330ml bottle from Rumble’s, Wellington.
Dark brown with ruby highlights. Tan foam rises, then diminshes to a soapy film with light lacing. Carbonation minimal. Mild port-like nose of poached plums - both sweet flesh and some sharper skin notes - with old fashioned oranges. Nicely balanced in the mouth: fruity esters, lightly tannic wood notes, toasty specialty grains, late season bitter oranges, and a sweet caramel base. The flavours come and go, mingling perfectly, getting better as I get through it - until it’s gone.... Woody notes linger, with a slight peppery note late on. Full and soft. Here’s tae us.

Jul 6, 2006 I appreciate this beer more each time I have it. The House Ale has a nice smoky aroma mixed with oak and spices. The pour is dark, but not quite jet black. I really like the complex flavor that this offers--very earthy, with plenty of roasted and smoky flavors coming through. Easy to drink with a great finish.
