Nice deep copper coloured body with a perfect sized dense slightly-off white head. Perfect look! Aroma of nice piney hops with a good spruce scent and a long-lasting caramely maltness that lasts throughout the scent. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong sweetness up front with much more malt than hops and a good dose of spice. Aftertaste shows even more sweetness - caramel, toffee and even more caster sugar. Overall, a nice winter offering - each of the Winter Brews are good to try. A bit lacking in the hops, but the malt and sugars help this one out. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle given to me from my friend Phil (haddon90) on 24-February-2006.

Bottle (brew date 11/11/05): Pours a murky copper/orange color with a thick beige head. Nose is decidedly sweet, with caramel, citrus hops, and toffee. A very wet mouthful with citrus notes, caramel, more sugary sweetness, and a hops bitter tail. There is something of a candylike feel to this ale; I know what you’re thinking and no it’s not like Skittlebrau. A lingering sugar holds on after the hops in the tail. Very different and very tasty. Could it have something to do with the age of this? I don’t know, but I’d certainly have another.

bottle. Clear brownish color. Reminds me of other IPA flavors. Grapefruit, citrus flavor. A little hop flavor, and some small malty sweetness.
