Dec 23, 2007 Bottle obtained from HogTownHarry. Deep red-amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is light but pleasant, with some toasted malt and caramel, and a faint spiciness. Medium bodied. Nice flavour, with sweet malt off the top, followed by some raisin and candied orange peel notes, and a moderately bittered finish. I’m not sure what the folks comparing this to a stout or a porter were drinking, as it didn’t resemble those in the least. Just a slightly above-average strong ale.

Dec 21, 2007 Nice winter warmer. Mealy aroma with very little head. Light brown lacing. Caramel initial taste with little hops. Seems like a cross between a porter and a stout. Just enough spice to add.

Dec 14, 2007 12 oz bottle-Dark amber color w/no head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor of roasted nuts, caramel, dark malt, & toffee w/a trace of spice. Rich, full mouthfeel w/ a long full malt finish. Just the right touch of bitterness on the finish. This was a very good sample of this style. Easy drinking brew, quite enjoyable.
