On tap at brewery. Pours reddish amber with a small beige head. Aroma is leather, toffee, and light fruit. Taste is similar but with a lightly hoppy graininess, some minerals, and some tangy malt. Light-medium body. Average carbonation. Oily mouthfeel.

A reddish copper ale with a thin light mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with maderized character, light mineral notes, honey final, pleasant. In mouth, a dead beer, watery bodied, light peated notes, light caramel malt with, dead and passed its prime. Bottle at Hugue and Alex tasting.

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy deep ruby, with a large light beige head, which lasts well and leaves decent lacing. Leather, a hint of smoke, resin and spice hops make for an inviting aroma. Potent spruce, citrus zest and marmalade hops up front give way to caramel, toffee and a meaty, savoury flavour in the mid-palate. It finishes strongly, with orange blossom and spruce hops. A nicely balanced hoppy, malty strong ale.

Bottle from cellarbrations superstore hami hill. Up front on the nose there's tones of booze with some caramel sweetness. Some resin comes through with slight roasty and citrusy undertones as well. Taste is pretty much as inviting as the aroma and rather syrupy. Not too bad.

Botled on March 2011. Fajna owijka ale brak na niej zawartosci alkoholu. Przechodzac do piwa to zapach czerwonych owocow, runa lesnego i nieco sosny. W smaku czerwone owoce, marmolada porzeczkowa i silnie korzenne posmaki do tego chmiel wyrazisty goryczkowy. Posmak dlugi i czysty. Alkoholu nie wyczuwa sie. Piwo o glebokiej rubinowej barwie z wielka i trwala pianka oblepiajaca szklo i do konca testowania trzymajacej sie na powierzchni piwa.

Sampled at Northgate Tasting. High carbonation, hoppy, with some stout elements to it.

Draft. Hazy to cloudy reddish amber color. Aroma of bright caramel. Taste is sweet malt and black pepper. A big beer.

Bottled shared at Proof. Amber pour with a small white head. Very one dimensional aroma and flavor of sweet caramel malts with a faint touch of pine . Pass
