| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 5, 2004 Brown with red and orange hues and an off white head. It is quite clear with nice carbonation. It’s got a big malty aroma with carmel, roasted and nutty tones. Very enviting. The flavor is smooth and very full. A roasted and carmel malt is most noticable and it’s finish is a bit bitter and then covered by a smooth round malt flavor. walleye (895), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 21, 2006 Burned almond into the glass, with an initially sudsy head that diminishes rather quickly, leaving very light spiderlace. The nose is of caramel, nuts, burned toffee and indistinct spices (sours). The taste does have a heavy malt contingency, with some toffee, caramel and nuts. This is hopped assertively (sorry, but the commercial description has the best word). It lends the mid-palate into the back-palate with a burned toast and biscuit finish. There is a bit of holiday spice effervescence, maybe vanilla, left behind. Definitely not a bad brew. The alcohol does show up slightly with a small astringent note. Decent offering!
