<i>Bottle</i> Dark amber pour with small head. Earthy aroma and flavor with a bit more hoppiness and warmingness in the flavor. Pretty decent.

Pours a clear ruby brown in color. A nice frothy off white head forms on the pour. Smell is malt, some light spice and some light fruit. Taste is a bit smokey and some light fruit. A little thin on the mouthfeel, but very easy drinking. Not near overly complex and not enough going on to warrant a return visit.

Strong brown ale, with a dark tan head, this one is introduced by the aroma of toasted hops and a little anise, with flavors that are warm, with a little malt sweetness and distant notes of herbal spices.

Clear mahogany in colour, lingering but thin beige coloured head, patchy lacing. The aroma is of red liquorice, quite sweet with some nail polish remover. The liquorice continues in the flavour along with a sugary sweetness, light spice and perfume. Sweet mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes sweet, quick.

This one was weird. Didn’t really care for the liquorice or the nail polish remover. Never got into this one.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Coldbrewky. Pours a light brown caramel color. I was a little sloppy with my pour & ended up with a huge angry head. Malty nose with some floral hop. Mildly carbonated with a bit of body to it. Flavor was malty with mild spice. A little bit of hop background.

bottle: Poured a dark brown color. The aroma was cloves, pepper, citrus and maybe some basil. The flavor was good, sweet malts and spice. Overall, an awesome winter beer.

Poured a dark brown color with okay head and some lacing. Aroma was very very malty not much to balance it out. Flavor was lots of caramel malts some nuttyness to it hops as it warmed not as well balanced as i wanted.

12oz bottle. Pours a burnt sienna in the chimay glass. Small white head dissipates. Some cloves, and corriander swirl then disappear round the thinner medium body that goes al bit chalky at finish. thanks to the wife again forbringingt this one home for me.
