355ml bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a white head. Aroma is malty, dark fruits. Taste is not very pleasant: caramel malt and some hoppy bitterness. Roasted malt afteraste. Probably spoiled.

12 oz bottle that was part of the World Market Winter Brews 9 pack, courtesy of my in-laws. The pour is a clear brown copper golden with a two inch foamy light tan head. The aroma is malt, cracker, slight toast, grainy along with floral hops. The floral shows some grass as well. The taste is big on the malt; slight toast grainy along with an ever so slight toffee sweetness - all of the malt has a touch of oxidation which works with the flavors. The malt is cut mid taste by floral, spicy pine bitter hops which dry out the finish. Nice transition between the malt and the hop, though this beer is mostly about the malt. A bit of warming booze is also present in the aftertaste. The palate is medium to heavy bodied, with active carbonation and the warming bitter finish. As the beer warms, the oxidation gets a bit rougher and detracts. Still an interesting beer.

Slightly Hazy Copper Color, Huge Foamy Head, Decent Soapy Lacing. Pleasant Floral Hop Aroma. Sweet Malt, Floral Hop Bitter Finish. Medium Body, Slightly Oily. Hides ABV Real Well. Easy Drinker. Not sure about Old Ale Style, but this reminds me of west Coast Pale Ale.Very fitting in cold and abundant snow winter that we have in Chicago. Drink it to keep it warm and Stick it to the Old Man, Winter. Is that All you’ve Got?! Nice. Enjoyed It. Recommended...

On tap at the River Room. Clear dark copper body with small foamy head. Subtle malty aroma, gets bitter in taste, finishes bitter as well. Bitterness is a combo of roast grains and hops. Good rendition.
