Dec 11, 2006 Pours a dark brown with small white head. Caramel and fruit in the nose (maybe cherries?) with roasted malts. Well balanced flavor starting with a deep maltiness and hops sprinkled throughout the mouth. Earthy and sweet, but not overpowering in any of the flavors. Very enjoyable.

Dec 2, 2006 Bottle. Decent aroma with a very dark brown body and thin head. Very malty taste that is well balanced with a nice hop profile. Very smooth. Good beer.

Nov 16, 2006 thick frothy head, rich brown color. first instinct says there’s a nice level of complexity here. smooth toasted taste, toffee and faint nuts. thick finish, as to be expected. oatmeal-esque. pretty good, at least better than most wild goose attempts.

Oct 19, 2006 Pleasantly suprised by the Frederick Brewing Co. with this one. Roasted tones with full body. Clear nutty palate, mild caramel and toffee. Alcohol could be blended a little better, but definately still a great brew.

Jul 22, 2006 bottle. Hazy mahogany pour with a fading tan head. Aroma is full of oaken notes, sweet caramel, and some dry fruit. This is a pretty bitter take with a woody acidity that hits the front of the palate. It fades to a sweeter grape-like taste. Tastes a bit like Scotch in between distant sips. not bad, I can think a few more appropriate winter brews, though.

Jul 18, 2006 Clear mahogany with a creamy tan head and a different label than the one shown here... which is not part of the beer actually - it’s got an aroma of dark caramel, cherries & plums, nuts, and a touch of charcoal. Medium bodied. The flavor is nice and malty, caramel and toffee, some roasted barley, fruit, and a quick hit of alcohol. Finishes on a fruity, sweet-sour note. Nice. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Tuck Wines, Sprirts, & Beverages, Peoria, IL<font size=-1>

Jun 21, 2006 Bottle (12oz). Deep mahogany with a somewhat large lasting foamy tan head. Roast caramel malt, fresh sweet cereal grain, light chocolate and yeast, sublte herbal hops, slightly funky, like a mild scotch ale. Taste is quite bitter, dry hops, very light wintery spices, a hint of alcohol and woodsmoke, with plenty of caramel malt, roasted almost to scorchedness, enough chocolate toffee to ameliorate the bitterness - pretty long fininsh, borders on harsh. Average body at best - I want to say a bit watery, but that’s not being fair - lively, bitter, a little astringent - very pleasing, just a little scorched, but I like this style - I could wish for more malt body and spice character.
