| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 15, 2007 Bottle, Poured clear medium dark brown with a nice frothy brown head. Aroma was a bit sweet and subtly fruity. The first impression upon sipping was that it just had a little extra nutttiness to go along with the roast malts. Definitely has a wheat background. Fairly enjoyable on the whole I would say. jonnabrix (136), Newberrytown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 14, 2007 This was a nice beer, with plenty of roasty malt, grain, yeast flavors. I wouldn’t say it is a spectacular beer, but I enjoyed the bottle I had. zootfinster (179), Chicago, Illinois, USA

It pours a nice deep dark amber with a nice light brown head. Pleasant malt taste. A little sweetness and minimum hoppiness. Might be one of my favorite beers. dtblaser (42), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 14, 2007 Darn good beer. Caramel and coffee notes. Ends with some balanced hoppiness. Starts smooth with excellent and strong aroma. Very good beer. decaturstevo (1980), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 13, 2007 A dark brown pour with a red tint and a good tan lacing. An aroma of raisins or dates I’m not sure. A flavor of toasted malt with a very good bitter finish. Good carobnation with a bit of a thin palate. Overall good beer thin palate and not a very complex flavor but a good beer. fonefan (11044), VestJylland, Denmark
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 11, 2007 Bottle. Medium red / brown color with a small fair lacing off-white to light brown head. Aroma is moderate malty and yeasty, alcohol, roasted. Flavor is heavy sweet and moderate bitter (malty sweet) with a average to long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat, finish feel is light to moderate alcoholic. Very nice :o)) ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 11, 2007 Draught at Hop Leaf. Aroma was somewhat clouded by smoky bar conditions. Not overly strong nose. Very dark body. Clear with red hues when held to light. Yellowish, tan head. Creamy, different. Decent lace. Tastes higher than 5.5% but not in a harsh way. (It’s hard to have a harsh alcohol mouthfeel at only 5.5%). Dry and malty. Solid beer, but nothing spectacular. Too dry for my tastes. churchill00 (154), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 10, 2007 Bottle. Pours a very deep, dark amber/brown. Smells surprisingly sweet--taste is extremely smooth. I can taste a very small hint of chocolate. Hmmm, some nuttiness? Beats some of the homegrown Texas/domestic bocks I’ve tried. Very drinkable.
