| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Bottle from Threshers. Attractive appearance with a reddish colour and big, tight off-white head. Malty aroma of frujit and nuts, with a hint of liquorice and chocolate powder. Flavour was bready, with red fruits, chocolate and a bitter finish. Good. larsga (3000), Oslo, Norway
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 17, 2009 Biggish beige head. Red-brown body with light carbonation. Roasty dusty caramelly straw and syrup aroma, very harmonic with rye crisp bread notes. Dry-sweetish roasty toffee and caramel taste with fruity chocolatey dusty notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish, dusty mouthfeel. Dry wooden fruity chocolatey aftertaste with dusty grassy notes. Chocolate and fruit is not the best possible combination, but otherwise this was quite nice.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 6, 2009 Bottle… Clear copper ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. The aroma was fragile to begin with, and Alan using an entire bottle of Resolve to clean up a GoT spill didn’t help much, but I was able to pull some gentle notes of toast and caramel from my glass. Light-bodied with medium carbonation. Balanced perfectly. Watery, and then dry finish. Refreshing. Bottle courtesy of TheCheeseMan! GodOfThunder (893), Orlando, Florida, USA
