pint can. Pours a reddish dark brown with a large sudsy beige head that has fair retention. The aroma is malty with grains, toffee and sawdust. The taste was lightly toasted grains, toffee and wood. The hops were moderately pine bitter with an earthy aspect. The palate was full, but yet, somehow unsatisfying. Finished short and dry. Overall: Interesting concoction. paired well with some Italian cheese.

22oz bottle pours out a brownish amber topped with a sand head. Nose is nutty wood notes spice roast malts and some earthy hops. Taste is more of the wood earthy notes a spice and plenty of the malty sweetness.

22 oz. bottle, pours a dark copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and bready caramel malt. Flavour is similar, with bready malt and a little toasted nuts. Pretty dull and lifeless. But it's okay.

This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a nice looking dark hazy brown color with a thin capped white foamy head that clung for a good amount of the time.
The smell had a deep dark roasted brown ale - esque sort of roasted and possibly baked maltiness about it. The taste was mainly roasty and sweet with a rolling roastiness in the aftertaste and it leaves a slight dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sipping quality about it. It seems carbonated appropriately.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good winter warmer leaning towards the darker side of the house.

A nice wooden barrel scent comes to the forefront at first sniff. Lots of dark goodness in here, all blended seamlessly. Pours dark brown/ruby with creamy beige head and sticky lacing. Taste is smooth, rich, slightly spicy, roast grains, toffee, peat, pipe tobacco. Nice gingerbread lingering on the palate afterwards. Really nice! 2015 re-rate: not as impressed this time around, standard English ale characteristics, just average

On tap at Orenco Taphouse. Pours a clear dark brown color with a medium tan head. A light chocolate nose, some caramel and light spices. A nice mix of fruity hop bitterness, dry chocolate and sweet caramel malts. This is a solid brew.
