Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Copper hues with a very nice creamy off-white head and excellent lacing. The aroma hints of earthy and zesty yeast esters, orange, currents, belgian candi sugars, floral and piney hops, and a touch of pepper. The taste starts sticky sweet with a mild bitter and spice undertone. Some good caramel notes shine through and the finish displays a moderat
Malty, sweet aroma with a hint of sourness. Cloudy copper color. Complex flavors, malts, sugars, cherry. The aftertaste is smooth, but the mouthfeel is thick.
Moderate white head, brownish orange color, aroma of fruit, sweet flavor, nothing outstanding, some fruits, slight spice, light bitter finish, not bad overall.
