2003 Batch:
Amber in colour with a large tan head of about four centimetres in height. Ruby highlights show when held up to the light, pretty nice! Malty aroma with some spices (nutmeg) thrown in the mix. Medium-bodied; Spicey flavour with malty characteristics and a mouthful that coats the inside of the mouth. A decent beer, pretty spot-on for the style, better than some others but not a great beer by any means. I bought a six pack of twelve ounce bottles at Top's in Rochester, New York.

2002 update: Amber color, small head. Rich toffeeish aroma and round toffeeish malt sweetness. Dry somewhat sharp and acidic finish. Strangely light mouthfeel and no lingering maltiness. New for 2001: Malty with hints at nutty caramel and toffee. Not as rich as some but overall pretty good.------2000: I'm with Gusler - one of Pete's best offerings. Malty sweet but medium bodied (not heavy or cloying), and clean. Straightforward, yes, but quite enjoyable. Nice dark amber color.

I don't have many OFs to
compare it to but I did find
it better than the Sam Adams
version.
