Pours clear deep amber with a large off-white head. The aroma is big in it’s malt profile. Some bitterness that builds to a dry finish rounds out and compliments the flavors that the malts provide. Thanks to kp for sharing this at the pre cask tasting.

Bottle (Winter 2006-07). Light cinnamon and vanilla malt aroma. Dark amber color with small head. Raw sugar cookie dough/cinnamon/vanilla (snickerdoodle) flavor. Mild hops finish - high acidity and carbonation. Has a nice cookie flavor without being cloying or with the strong spice flavors that are usually present in this style. (Winter 2007-08) - not really detecting a great deal of difference - similar aroma, color and taste but a bigger head. Still a quality brew.

Pleasantly sweet with nice hop balance underneath. Dark reddish-brown pour with small off-white head. Aromas of caramel, malts, peat. Very sweet flavor that reveal some fruits and earthiness. Hops show up at the end. Full body is sticky for a long finish. Comfortable mouthfeel. Reduced carbonation. Very nice.

A hazy orange beer with a thick beige head. The aroma is lightly hoppy combined with light notes of oranges. The flavor is very grassy and with a dry bitter end, but I find the body a bit thin.
