  • Pours black with a hint of ruby redness when held up to the light. The pour offers a two finger frothy tan head. The head settles out after a few minutes leaving a thin layer of tan foam resting on top. Lacing start immediately and sheets down the sides of the glass.

    The aroma is malty with a strong presence of coffee and a bit of sweet chocolate. I also detect a spice of some sort that I will assume is juniper berry as I am not sure that I have ever knowingly smelt juniper berries before and that is what is says on the label.

    The taste is big and bold. Starts with burnt dark malts and bitter chocolate that give way to a sharp pine hop bitterness. The pine hop follows through to the finish with an earth hop flavor making an appearance in the aftertaste along slide a big dark coffee taste. Big bold fairly bitter beer.

    Big body with medium carbonation. A heavier slightly creamy mouth feel with a sharp pine hop zing.

    Overall I would say that this is a really nice winter beer. Dark robust flavors with a nice level of layers and complexity. I enjoy the pine hop kick mixed with the dark malts, chocolates and coffee. This is a big beer with big flavor that might have some running, but this is a solid winter beer in my opinion. I'll have another!
