This beer had a Best Enjoyed Before date of October 2010, but it's been in my fridge, so the temperature has been constant since I brought it home. Drinking straight from the bottle, I found the beer still tasted good - at least as far as I could tell. From my limited set of beer descriptors, I find the beer is chocolaty. However, most descriptions of the Peak Organic Amber Ale describe it as toasty*.
*A beer is toasty if it literally has a toasty flavor.
After drinking some of the beer from the bottle, I decided to pour the remainder of it out in a cup. Since I didn't have my pint glass, I used a whiskey glass. In any case, I proceeded to smell the beer and observe its color. While I was able to observe these two aspects, I was unable to translate my perceptions into words.
As the beer warmed up, it seemed to gain a little more flavor. In any case, the beer's flavor seemed familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on which beer it was similar to. Maybe it tastes like Blue Moon Belgian White.
