Bottle: Poured a deep burgundy color ale with a nice foamy head with average retention. Aroma of sweet malt with dry cranberry. Taste is a nice balance between sweet malt with a nice mix of fruit which may include dried cranberry, orange peel and nice mix of spices. Body is slightly thin with some adequate carbonation. It is my first beer from this brewery but I have to admit that I am quite impressed.

This Ale poured a beatiful black colour with a cramy tan coloured head. Scents include licorice, roasted malt and spice. First taste was very nice. Slightly bitter with good roasted malt flavour. A little balck licorice flavour like in the nose. The palate is burnt flavoured with a slightly bitter lingering.

A reddish amber ale with almost no head, light carbonatation. Aroma of warming alcohol and light sulfites, with berry notes developping upon stirring. In mouth, it does have some redeeming qualities, as this is not totally lifeless, the alcohol brings some interest to the mouth, and there are some interesting licorice developping, but this is very confused, rough, amateurish. Bottle from ProbstK, Oct. 2006.
