| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 5, 2010 Pours a clear brown with a big frothy head. Malty aroma with some meatyness and grains (sadly something I touched while drinking this, probably from the sandwhich I’m eating, is interacting with the aroma to create the smell of dried dog food). Semi-sweet, medium dark malt and some light nuttiness prevail in the taste and some very subtle coffee notes. Much more coffee in the finish. A warming and filling beer.

Aromas of raisins, roasted malts, caramel, toffee, and plumps/figs. Flavors of figs, roasted malts, slight raisin, light toffee, caramel, and wood. Slightly dry finish much like corked wine.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 2, 2009 (Bottle) Pours a copper-ish reddish brown colour with a creamy off-white head. The aroma holds caramel and bread from the rather wort-like maltiness. Some hops in the background. The flavour is light to medium sweet and light bitter. Metal, dry caramel, light dark bread and light hops. The mouthfeel is clean, maybe too clean, I would have liked a rounder profile. Near medium carbonation. Light after bitterness. Light to medium bitter.
