| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet with dark fruits, caramel malts, and alcohol. Flavor is pretty sweet from the caramel malts and dark fruits. Finishes with some warming. Some other funky flavor comes out on the finish that I can’t quite place, but it isn’t pleasant. johndoughty (2156), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England

Spicy hops in the nose, along with some ethanol and a little dried fruit. Hazy, dark yellow with a thin, white top. Sweet hops flavour develops into an assertive bitterness and then quite a bit of ethanol that comes off as whisk(e)y-like. Warming, clean finish, moderate carbonation. cgreb (179), Marburg, Germany

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 9, 2009 Updated: Mar 10, 2009The clear, syrupy looking golden liquid is topped with a small, foamy, beige colored head that fades. A dense, soapy wash leaves scattered spotting behind on the glass. Aromas are strongly alcoholic, with a syrupy sweet, corny, fusel sort of overtone that sears the nasal passages. Notes of citrus peel and cream try to fight their way through, but are overtaken by the burn. Flavors show basically like a cheap tripel, hot, corny sweet, and lightly spicy on the back end. Glazed dessert bread gives a yeasty feel, while candied citrus peel and floral hops add contrasting sweet and bitter notes. The mouthfeel isn’t as thick and syrupy as I was expecting. In fact, it borders on watery and weak, but still sports that searing alcoholic heat that cannot be overlooked. This one has some redeeming qualities, but is ultimately just not for me.
