Bryan's Notes
The Look:
- Dark ale; gives off a dark reddish-brown glow
- tight one-finger tan colored head
- ring of swirly lace hangs around for the duration
The Aroma:
- a pleasant, rich aroma
- burnt, roasty notes
- tiny bit of sweetness
The Taste:
- the flavor isn't as deep and complex as the nose was leading me to believe it might be
- medium carbonation
- slight off-bitterness in the finish
- a bit thinner than I would have preferred for a "winter ale/warmer"
The Verdict: Nice drinking, but hard for me to pick anything, other than the aroma, that I thought was memorable. Could drink a second one, but that would be enough.

Adam's Notes
The Look:
- almost porter like dark brown
- I could still see through it in a pint glass
The Aroma:
- smells kinda nutty and slightly sweet
- roasted grain is present
The Taste:
- reminds me of a brown ale with more roasty grain
- kinda like the spruce with no spruce and extra roastiness
- slight peppery taste up front
- light sweet lingering aftertaste
The Verdict: Well I bought a case of it. Not bad for a standard winter ale to have around, but, I probably won't buy a case again.
