this style has deep, rich, chocolatey flavors, but they're balanced by a pleasantly spicy hop character

"This beer is a brown color that, when held up to the light, is visually clear with a deep ruby hue. A tan head tops this beer. There is a hint of candy sweetness in the aroma, it is accompanied by a bit of hop aroma, though the predominant aroma in the nose is one of malt. Up front the taste of this beer is lightly sweet. It is a fairly light bodied brew, especially for a winter warmer. Malty biscuit type flavors dominate and are accompanied by a light bitterness in the finish. It leaves an aftertaste of spices in my mouth. There is not too much here, the honey probably contributes to the clean light body. A solid product, there is just not enough to get excited about here."

[2] Review by EyeChartBrew from CA, Liechtenstein who has tried this beer once. (7/27/2005 12:17:24 PM)
"I guess it's a credit to this beer that it's still fairly interesting after a year since it's bottling. But then again, this is a Winter Beer, and most surely last at least a year or so.
But besides this beer's wearwithal, there's not a lot to say about this beer, to be honest. Looks decent enough, smells decent too -- basic PacNW hop aroma -- and enough of a "wintery" malt bill to make things interesting.
But to be honest, I had a hard time really caring one way or the other about this one. All the pieces of the puzzle were in available, but not really pieced together enough to make a staisfying beer, IMO.
Not bad, but a little too disconcerted for anything but an once- or twice-a-year visitor to the ol' fridge...

"Dark brown color. Medium to small head. Aroma is chocolate and malts. A medium to full bodied ìamberî. Malts are nutty and sweet, with touches of chocolate and caramel. Hops are slightly spicy. Touches of pine and smoke. Kind of a milder winter warmer, but pleasant nonetheless. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet."

"Large slightly off-white head. Has some sweetness to it that makes it different. A decent amount of hops and nice malty flavor. Robust mouthfeel with some raisin taste."

"Grant's Deep Powder is a very dark looking brew with little head when poured. There wasn't much of an aroma. The taste was average...no lingering bitterness, but nothing of special note either."
