3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. High creamy and long lasting brown head. Clear and ark ruby body. Sweet and fruity, raisin - plum, caramel aroma. Burned barley malt flavor with dry and hoppy untertones. Relatively sweet plum rainsin. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste that is a bit hard to describe so I don’t.

Bottle: Copper mahogany, nose of light spice, ethanol and cinnamon/allspice. Nice floral malty notes. The finish is smooth, creamy, and a bit brash.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Very dark brown body with a big foamy beige head. Weird aroma at first is an odd blend of sweet dark malt underlying strangely green hops. Dominant flavour is hoppy bitterness with a sweet sticky malt in the background. Dark, lightly fruity, light molasses character. Average to medium palate. This was actually pretty good, and the alcohol is surprisingly restrained for an Avery product, but there was a certain clashing of flavours that kept me from getting entirely comfortable with it. Perhaps a larger more contemplative sample would have had different results, I don’t know.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
The best thing about this brew is its pour, a huge, rocky beige head resting atop a deep ruby body. The aroma is tangerine peels, worty malt, and some chewy dried fruits. It tastes of dark caramel, bitter citrus zest, molasses, and some brown spices. The study ABV is pretty well hidden throughout the drink. Just okay. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Lakeview Liquors, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
16th May 2008. Smooth chocolatey start with a faint molasses tone. This leads quickly to fruity hops that are not bitter. A little like a barleywine but this is something different.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Head is initially large, frothy, light brown, mostly lasting. Body is dark brown. Aroma is moderately malty (cookie, caramel, chocolate, nuts), moderately to heavily hoppy (resin, grapefruit), lightly to moderately yeasty (mold, dough), with light notes of overripe banana, rubber/plastic, ashtray, and alcohol. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium to full body, creamy texture, lively carbonation, moderately alcoholic. Not the most enticing aroma, though not just ’cause of the resinous green hop that sits out front...there are some funky things underneath that don’t appeal to me. But overall an ok sweet/strong beer.
