12oz bottle cyn brought me back from the east coast. Thanks cyn. Pours orange amber with a nice stable 1 finger tan head. Nose is sweet and malty and nice. Sweet and malty is complemented in the taste and its yummy. Its a nice english strong but not so strong in abv, while nice in taste.

Bottle. Pours a clear, very bubbly, deep ruby-orange with an average size off-white head. Aroma’s sweet and spicy along with caramel malt, traces of chocolate, light hops and some toastiness -- not bad at all. Flavour’s malty and spicy along with alcohol, fruit and a decent bitter finish. Medium bodied. Better then I expected this to be, a decent Xmas Strong Ale.

Slightly hoppy aroma froma deep amber body with a white head. Mostly malt flavor with a touch of yeast spiceyness. I just don’t like this beer. Can’t put my finger on it, but i don’t like it.

on tap at market cross, Shippensburg: Nose is full or toasty malt character, no hop presence in the nose, and maybe a hint of tofee. came off the tap dark amber, but not quite brown and transparent with a thin film of head. Flavor was quite nice and toasty, with a slighty roasted edge and loads of malt flavors. hops kicked in in the finish and provided a nice balance and addicting tinge of bitterness, very clean flavor no yeast flavors detected. mouthfeel was medium bodied, normal amount of carbonation. quite tasty

Pours dark brown with a small off white head that leaves a small amount of lacing. Aroma is very sweet and malty. The taste is very sweet as well, with a strange taste accompanying it that seems to be in every Wild Goose beer I have tried. Very decent for the price.
