Hazy dark amber color with a large off-white head. Aromas of wood, spruce, and spice. Near full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is wood, spruce, cardamom and almost chocolate. It’s not all that spicey. It has a lot of flavor. Maybe tobacco, but not leather. It’s really interesting and fairly complex. Finishes with a lot of impact on all the little taste buds. Really nice.

Bottled:
Pours dark hazy reddish brown wih an ok head. Aroma is cinnamon and soapy hops. I found the flavour to be a bit unbalanced; starts off quite sweet, but after awhile it turns into a sharp, hoppy bitter thing. The beer is drinkable, but could’ve been better.

Nice potent deep brown coloured body with a thinnish tan head showing large bubbles and a muddy appearance. Aroma of fresh citrus and piney hops, roasted malt, peat, vanilla and oak - not too much spice though. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong assertive piney hops come out first with a bit of brown sugar sweetness, tucked in with some nuts and a mellow spiciness. Aftertaste shows good hops, a pleasant alcoholic warming feeling touched with a little spiciness, but not much at all. Overall, a good beer - but not amazing by any stretch. I’m happy to sample this, but I probably would have preferred another. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando, Florida on 15-February-2009, sampled two weeks later on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Cloudy amber, with a sudsy lace - the aroma has a strong spice to it (mostly cinnamon and nutmeg), with dry cocoa underneath, a bit of vegetal character - low carbonation - feels almost "from the cask" in the mouth - some caramel sweetness starts things off, and serves as an underpinning for marris otter maltiness, notes of cinnamon, and a little bit of spruce-like character - the hops aren’t really present at all, which is surprising, considering the commercial description - rich in flavor, but still not terribly complex - finishes a little vegetal, and there is a medicinal quality in the aftertaste that comes close to ruining the experience, but otherwise this is okay.
