Surprised when I found this a couple days ago; thought it had been retired. Deep, clear, reddish brown appearance with an average size tan head and good lacing. Muted roasted malt aroma, some spiciness and a faint whiff of wood. Earthy taste is mostly malt driven with familiar notes of toffee and dark fruit. Some hops finally showing up in the finish. Medium bodied, modestly carbonated mouthfeel.

From the can, it pours a brown color with a light can head that slowly dissipates as you drink it and it leaves lacing. In the nose, it is malty. In the mouth, it is roast malt forward with a nice after taste.

Note: Purchased in Dec 2017 and put in the fridge until 2019. The can has "fly south" stamped on it.

This beer has an excellent ruby red/maroon color to it. It has no head whatsoever except for a few lingering bubbles around the edges.

Roasted and caramel malts shine through on the nose. There is a bit of an odd herbal hop aroma coming through, but the malts steal the show.

This is a very balanced tasting brew! It masks the 6+ % very well. It's mostly toasty malts, with a hint of drying bitterness on the end. There is some residual sweetness, but not too much.

Very well done Snow Goose. I heard Flying Dog is discontinuing this line after this season and it's sad. This is a great beer.
