Backlog November 2013. Reddish amber body under a dense, medium sized beige head. Aroma of sweetish malt, dry fruit and caramel. Taste is almost intense with sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit and citric fruity hops. Fine body with a long lasting sweet and bitter aftertaste. Kind of nice in a non-typical way.

Bottled on 10/23/13, drunk on 7/25/14.
Pours a ruddy, deep auburn topped by a difficult to coax, light-tan head. It does end up sticking around a bit. Clarity is high though; very lightly filtered.
I will admit to this not smelling like much. By no means is this poor in the aroma category, the nose just dosent do it justice. It’s quite malty, smells slight caramelized or richly maris otter-like. Whatever the case, they got one hell of an extraction from the malt. But yet there is a dry, burnt chocolate-like note that keeps it from being overpowering. In fact, it never seems even slightly strong.
The first sip is slightly sweet. Yep theres a lot of high gravity wort and it comes through, even though it’s not alcoholic or overdone. What does emerge and quickly, is a cherry almost brett. lambicus-like tartness. No idea where this comes from, if its just very light bacteria emanating from the malt, but it’s absolutely stunning. Vanilla and very light wine-skin flavors signify a true sour-like end. Delicious. Hard to believe this was exactly intended but delicious none the same.

12oz bottle pours a lightly hazy, copper amber with some creamy white head. Nose has a lot of toffee, raisin, malt, mild spice, orange, yeast, a little booze. Flavor is the same, toffee, raisin, mild bread, orange, spice, a bit of Belgian yeast. Clean finish. Messy.

Bottle: A heavy caramel colored pour with better than a finger of creamy beige head. Odd spots of lacing and a slight cap throughout. Very faint aroma of floral and caramel, some spice. Taste of florals, chocolate, caramel, and spice. Good accent on the florals and it works well with the chocolate malt. Nice feel overall, a little too easy to drink at 8.3% to call a session, but that’s what I want to call it. Good session brew.

Bottled on date: 10SEP13. Consumed January 2, 2014. Reviewed from notes.
The appearance has a somewhat light brown colored body with a one finger white foamy head that left some nice adequate lacing clinging nicely in rings around the glass.
The smell is nutty with some bready maltiness.
The taste is sweet through a combination of nuts, bready malts and cinnamon. There is a sticky nutty aftertaste with a dry nutty finish.
On the palate, its about a medium in body but comes across somewhat sessionable and went well with New Year’s Day leftovers. Carbonation is good for the style and for me as there’s a decent amount of harshness hitting the tongue and mouth but it isn’t anything that degrades from a Christmas Brown Ale.
Overall, this is a good Brown Ale that I would have again next Christmas.
