| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 25, 2007 Bottle. Not so bad, but quite light. Shows some light spiceyness (kind of a Christmasy sort of spice- cinnamon, nutmeg), but as i say it is quite light. Some caramel and dark fruit, with some light acidity.

Smells a bit like Anchor OSA. Flavour is vinous, sourish and has notes of caramel, spices, peat and ash.
