Bottled, thanks jjpm74! Cloudy amber, no head. Oaky peat aroma. Sweet with soft and rounded mouthfeel. Rather fruity and near full bodied. Warming and gentle. More focus on malt, wood and vanilla than on hops. Complex and tasty.

An hazy dark amber ale with a thin white head. Rather sweet biscuitty caramel aroma, with light British hopping, lightly floral, restrained. In mouth, a good caramel malt with dry floral hops, nutty notes, not a lot of citrus in this. Bought at Party Source,Syracuse, Nov. 2006.

750ml, bought it maybe 2 months ago. Sat in a fridge for maybe a few days before tonight. Poured into Tripel Karmeliet glass, and boy what a head on this puppy. Pours with just a monster of a foam. Foam only lasts for a few mintues but leaves a surface covered with lacing. Color is dark amber, can’t see through it but medium clarity within the beer. Aroma is present with a strong sweetness and a present underlying spice aroma, not overwhelming but there. There is a weird sourness that may come from infection as some have mentioned but it works well with this beer. I would pay for this infection. Some toastiness and woodsiness in it. Taste is not as interesting, the sourness is gone. Watered down sweetness mainly with a nutty character. Body is thin and watery, mouthfeel is slightly spikey. Leaves a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a nice dark amber colour with a large longlasting off-white head. Malty hoppy aroma. Sweet malty hoppy flavor, with nice hints of dark fruits. Dry malty finish with a nice bitter aftertaste. A good one.

Tap at Halftime. First pour out of the keg. Pours with a small head. Color is copper, completely murky with almost no clarity. Aroma is present, caramel sweetness with wheat-like fishiness and a bit of spice. Taste is nicely sweet, losses that fishy wheat and really doesnt give off any pumpkin. Weird, definitely sweet with a bit of a toasty character, not high on spice.

Ever been angry at a beer? No? Then buy this one. Aroma was great, roasted malt, coffee, and oddly, a hint of cantaloup. Then I poured it, all head. I’m not sure if it was the bottle, the carbonation or the beer, but the head kept foaming out and over the bottle for 20 minutes after opening. It foamed on the counter, in the fridge, in the sink, everywhere. Pouring more of it made no difference, head kept foaming. I’d say by the end, I was lucky if I got 30% of the bottle. Flavor was strong, nutty, roasted, coffee and strong. Finish is heavy and oily. The overall score suffered because of the drinking experience. Look out.

Pours deep brown/black into an English pint. Extreme micro head fills glass. Time for a second pint...pour gently...stop at rim...foam continues to pile out of the glass for 5 minutes onto the countertop. Unhappy experience so far. Deep chocolate and espresso notes. Flat, sour/salty with a bitter hop finish. No good. My first drain pour.

Dark orange amber ale with a creamy white head. Smooth ginger and citrus, with light floral hops. In mouth, ginger root, coriander and hops, rather light bodied, with acidic points, a bit too thin and acidic. Sampled with Mtl crew, April 16 2006.
