On Tap at the brewpub. Deep redish brown with little to no head and only slight wispy lacing. Aroma was a wonderfull medley of mulled spices, raisons, brown sugar and toasted malts. Flavor was equally coplex and interesting with a pronounced german weizen yeast note in the mix. Softly carbonated but a very fine and slick feel. Hides the ABV quite well though there is a slight late burn. Most interestingbeer ive had in a long time.

On Tap at the brewpub. Clear medium brown in color with a small off white head and traces of lacing. Nice aroma of soft roasted chocolate malts. Heavy on the chocolate malts flavors, light roast and somewhat earthy. Quite smooth and soft feel. Very good.

On Tap at the brewpub. Clear medium amber. Modest white head and excellent sheets of persistant lacing. Soft malt aroma and hops combo. Flavor was mostly medium malts and little hops. Rather thin and very soft feel.

On Tap at the brewpub. Light golden slightly hasy witha small white head. Very strong raspberry aroma, though odd, no raspberry color. Flavor was raspberry al right, but a bit mediciney and of extract. Solid soft wheat backbone on the trailer.

Thanks to Goldtwins for sharing this growler at kp’s Cellar Party. Pours clear amber with a three dimensional, dextrinous head of white. Good fragrant hop nose and the palate was dry overall and the malt and hop flavors were very well balanced.

Hazy chestnut brown colour. Has a reasonably complex chocolate malt character with light toastiness and a hint of brown sugar. Simple, well-made brown, rounded but with a subtlely complex maltiness. When my curry arrived, it held its own just fine.

2007, at the brewpub in Stevenson. Bright amber colour. Chewy aroma - a little crystal, earth, balanced woody/grapefruity hop. Flavour lets down a bit....quite bitter to the point of imbalance. Some chewy crystalness, butnot with the same degree of nuance as other WM brews. Alcohol is surprisingly not apparent but I could have used some of that to cut through the cloying finish. This actually should be much better by the time Hard Liver ’08 rolls around.
@ Hard Liver ’06Beautiful bright orangey-amber colour. Soapy, perfumey hop with shallow brown sugar malt. Sort of light body, with hints of brown sugar, caramel malts and a shade of hoppy dryness. Not horrible, but certainly nothing special. 6-3-7-3-13 = 3.2

The first time I had this was at Brouwer’s and I hated it. So a complete re-rate was conducted at the brewpub in Stevenson. Bright tawny amber. Rich muscovado malt aroma with light wood, earth. Very chewy and dense body. Rounded character with a complexity of dark sugars - cane, dates, muscovado. There isn’t much else here but the beautiful purity of these sugars reminds me of El Dorado 15y.o. rum from Guyana.

Dark chestnut colour. Assloads of pine and spices (nutmeg, cardamom). Flavour has a bit of pine, light caramel and a shitload of spices. Rather one-dimensional that way.
