12oz bottle via trade with slob! - Thanks Bert! - Pours dark brown with a short tan head that settles back to a film and laces a touch on the way down. Aromas of caramel, wood, brown sugar, and a touch of chocolate. Flavor is malty as well. Nice caramel, woody notes, and chocolate and just a touch of vanilla. Palate is medium bodied and not much carbonation. A pretty drinkable ale.

Dark brown and cloudy in color. Has a nice sweet taste which is a bit fruity. Beer is relativley hoppy for a winter ale. It has a bit of a dry finish. This beer is a nice winter ale for a cold winter day.

This one would be a nice winter warmer when it gets down to around 28 degrees F. Appetizing malt sweetness to make one want to drink more and more until you’re all warmed up inside. I’m a little surprised by the hoppiness but it does well to balance out the flavors and keep it from being overly sweet.

This beer has an aroma of oak and sour mash. It is a mahogany colored solution that has a good thick off-white colored head. This beer has a decently heavy texture as it distributes a mild nutty-oak taste. The taste fails to stick around much time at all after swallowing.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark mahogany color with a large tan head. The aroma is sweet with a fruity hop element and a light earthy undertone. The flavor is sweet and tangy with ripe cherry, molasses and nutmeg. There is an earthy floral hop element on the finish.

Deep reddish brown color. Medium tan head. Some nice citrussy hops, mild carbonation. Some really nice malts. Impressive. I’m unfamiliar with this style. somewhere between an IPA and a stout sorta. I like it.

Pulled a sixer from the shelf and thoroughly enjoyed. Nice fruity undertones and rich enough to add distinction.

Tap at Royal. Translucent garnet brown with low retention beige head. Hoppy aroma (bar obscured), weird hop citrus fruity taste - is that a note of strawberry? Yes, it’s got some kind of tropicana twister fruit note to it, mainly strawberry, a little watermelon. Some malt supporting it, but... weird. Not ordering another of these...
