bottle. pours a cloudy darm amber, slight tan film on top. aroma is caramel and hints of herbal hops. full-bodied malts, taste of molasses, fruity malts, and a helping of noble hops make the finish not too sweet. not bad, especially for being a bit old (at least 10mo)

bottle; pours a dark brownish read. Aroma of caramel malt, chocolate, fruit and spices. Flavor was much of the same; dry finish. Good, but definitely not great.

Pours a dark brown color with a white head. Has nice lacing. Reminds me of the k-9 cruiser winter beer by flying dog. Has hints of hops, caramel, spices. Medium bodied finishes with a thin dry caramel taste on the tongue.

One of the better ’winter ales’ I’ve had. The aroma is malty. The palate is full, and rich. The beer is well balanced, with some spiciness added into it.

Hand-bottle sampled on 2/13/07: Pours a transparent copper orange with a thin, nicely-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet, toasty caramel malt with a fresh, piny grapefruity hoppy balance. Body starts fairly full and sweet with a nice bittering grapefruity hoppiness toward a smooth, balanced, bittersweet finish.

(Bottle) pours deep dark red. Light roasted aroma with some chocolate, earth, caramel and hints of stone. Some grassy hops with a subtle citric touch. Some dark fruits and dry raisins. Hints of yeast and vanilla. Roasted and light burned flavour with caramel, cocoa and a light subtle whiskey smokiness. Light sourish. Hints of earth and stone the finish is bitter and light sour. Some spiciness both in the aroma and flavour. Medium body.
