Bottle Pours a deep mahogany with a very full and thick creamy head. lots of heavy lacing. Aroma is a dark and somewhat spicy blend with sewwt malt and maybe a little molassas. Flavor is dark and woody. Toasted wheat and a slight spicy notes. A nice warming flavor that is consistant with the winter seasonals. Finish is clean and smooth, with a sort of sweet wheat aftertaste.

Bottle Pours a dark brown with a huge frothy light tan head. As this settles, large amounts of sticky lacing coat the glass. Aroma is very chocolatey, fairly sweet and a touch of alchohol. Flavors are less sweet than I expected, chocolate is there, dark malts, a little licorice and a bit of smoke. Not particularly complex, but simple and tasty enough. The ABV is 5.9 but smells and tastes a bit higher. Quite noticeable chalky feel that is a bit much actually. Lingering slightly bitter old campfire flavor.

Bottle Pours a very clear medium dark amber with a white frothy head "so thick you could float a bottlecap on it". Aroma is a good balance of hops and sweet dark malt. Flavor is mostly maly, with a quite dark woody flavor, but on subsequent sips the hops starts to dominate more. Feel is not particularly thick, and the finish is a bit chalky withthe same flavors.

Bottle Pours a hazy orange/amber with a nice white head. Plenty of lacing. Not much Cranberry in the aroma, instead a yeasty spicy notes more like a belgian. Flavor is fairly sweet, simple, little cranberry, and a woody apple spice type flavor. Finishes nice, with just a lingering earthy taste. I love Lambics....this is not a Lambic

Bottle Pours a clear dark mahogany with a modest foamy off white head. Very fine and sturdy lacing. Aroma is a subtle note of mostly dark malts. Falvor is dark toast as the comercial description says, and some coffee and dk chocolate. I can barley detect the orange and cinimon. Feel is thin and the after taste is a slightly burnt flavor and tree bark.

Bottle. Amber colour, nice white head. Very nice, malty aroma. Very malty for a lager, mild bitterness. Not overly carbonated.

Bottle Poured light amber with a small off white head. Not much lacing. Aroma was very much like cherry pop. Flavor was a mild wheat, no real hop taste and a cherry flavore over it all.. Not swet like pop but just the right amount. Must admit, hard to get used to but it grew on me a bit. Feel was soft like a hef or wheat beer. No real aftertaste. Wierd but OK.

Amber coloured with no head. Sherry aroma. Very sweet flavour with a late touch of raisins. Perhaps too strong for it’s own good.

On Tap at Kahootz Clear dark amber with a very nice long lasting white head and excellent lacing. Malty and slightly sweet aroma, like honey.Flavors were of honey, wet cardboard, malts and not much hops. Feel was very nice smooth and fairly heavy with a slight hops bite at the end. A tasty seasonal.

2004 draught @ Redbones. Pours a good looking auburn-amber, clear and filtered but otherwise bright and appealing. Small yellow/cream colored head. Aroma has hints of light smoked wood, a touch of roasted malt and some hints of light toffee. Flavor begins with a lightly sweet malt flavor; hints of molasses and caramel. Flavor blends in to the smoke with a pretty good, real smoky taste. Medium bodied, smooth and creamy. No huge complex flavors, but a decent, very well balanced rendition. You’re not going to confuse this one with Aecht Schlenkerla, but I dont think they were trying to do so.
