Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to becher glass.
Appearance: dark amber to brown color with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated fairly quick and left some sliding lace
Aroma: caramel/toffee notes, some woody spices and a touch toasted nuts
Flavor: leans to the malty side; finishes caramel malty with a touch of the muddled woody spicy tone
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, some smoothness and light dryness
Overall: well, I've had worse beers in life but I couldn't really figure this one out too well.

Tap @ Ithaca Ale House. Served in a frozen glass, fuckers. Fairly clear, dark red orange appearance with a ncie light brown head. Toasty malty, dark caramel, straw aroma. Slightly bitter, grassy, hay, caramel, nutty flavor. Not very smooth and a little hard to drink.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a frothy, thick tan head - nice! Aroma of toasted malt, caramel, green apples, a touch of sourness and a little hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive malty bite with nuts, earth and some light caramel flavours running strong and a few grassy and herbal flavours at the end. Aftertaste shows more earth and nuts than anything else with quite a bit of caramel sweetness. Overall, a nice dunkel with some good flavours and relatively true to style drinkability. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 18-November-2011 for US$2.35 sampled at home in Washington on 24-January-2012 the day before leaving to go up to Lake Placid.

One of my Christmas gift brews. Pours plum brown with faint dark fruit aromas. Tastes of plums, raisin, earth, toffee, and caramel. Slight hops and malt. Delightful.

Bottle. Pours clear purplish brown. Nose of candi sugar, malt and hops. Taste is dry malt, light hops and candi sugar finish. Light body.

Bottle from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours dark rudy amber with a slight beige head. Aroma is malt and a not so grassy noble hop. Where did that come from? Med plus body. Flavor is heading towards sticky malt of a pretty roasted kind - no quite sticky tho. Low level of hop. Really seems to be balanced. Drinks pretty good.

Pours a clear medium brown - an interesting take on the style - has the smoothness and sweet malt character you expect from the style, but with a few tweeks here and there - the first comes in the form of a bit of tartness in the aroma, which compliments the more traditional notes of raisin and caramel fairly well - a bit of floral notes as well - the more I smell it, the more inviting it becomes - smooth, creamy body - medium sweet and toasty - the second surprise comes in the form of a moderate warming spiciness on the tail end, which arrives at the same time as a mild acidity, both of which serve to cut the sweetness - very understated - everything in the flavor is subtle but balanced - very understated - a bit flawed in the finish, with a too strong hop bitterness, but otherwise nice.
