Rich molasses and roasted barley give depth of flavor and yield a full body. A slight spruce aroma greets you with the first sip and leaves you with a subtle aftertaste. This historical ale dates to the earliest years of America's settlement when spruce was utilized as a bitter flavor in brews along with providing a good source of vitamin C during the winter months. It would have been drank for these medicinal qualities.

Keg at the brewpub. Murky brown, barely a head. Aroma of spruce, earth, molasses, a root beer like note. Taste is earth, roots, spruce, molasses. Medium bodied, sweet with a hint of bitterness. Decent.
