Oct 15, 2006 Updated: May 27, 2007On tap at the Muddy Pig. Metallic, coppery shade with an inviting, holiday aroma of cinnamon and apples, like sitting by the fireplace anticipating dessert. Sadly it falls apart as a strange combination of flavors and an inhospitable mouthfeel make it much less of a treat than it seems to promise. Paper is foremost, followed by pumpkin, caramel, soap, and sweat. The bitterness of its spicy hops seemed too rough is rough edged. Steel wool in the mouth. Slow failure.

Oct 11, 2006 Nothing incredibly special. Cloudy coppery color. Light head. Strong aroma, with some definite citrus and strong malt notes. Nicely bittered, although unbalanced. There is an unmistakable tannin flavor that slides by the back of the tongue on the way down. Lots of carbonation left it feeling lighter than i’d expected.

Oct 11, 2006 Pours a coppery amber color with a tiny white head. Aroma is tangy with hops and malts present. Taste is bitter and tangy with hints of roasted hops,wood chips,malt and a touch of lemon. Decent but nothing spectacular.

Sep 22, 2006 12 oz. bottle from Styles. nice appearance of a sligtly hazy dark amber with a fast fading tan head. aroma is of mild caramel, but flavor has a strange bitterness to it which is not off-set by the mild carame & toffee notes. if this is truly an 8.5% abv beer, the slcohol is hidden decently. unusual, drinkable, but not something I care to re-visit anytime soon.
