Was happy to find the last bottle at the nearby craft beer store, and find it on tap at one of my favorite beer bars, but on to the rating. Flavor is outstanding, aroma is ok but overall a great beer. blankboy (3193), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 18, 2009 Magnum from the rip and run. i didn’t get any of the smokiness they speak of but yes it was predominantly malty bt it came and went in slow waves.. 8.5% sure accumulated in the Duders noodle. A lovcely muddled brown with steady head in the tulip. Nose is infused with candi sugar. body is medium and not too longlasting. This must be magic on draft. thejon375 (392), Tampa, Florida, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 12, 2009 Dark brown beer with a nice thick creamy tan head that has decent retention. Aroma is dark fruit, must, and alcohol. Flavor is first fruit and then chocolate jumps in. Alcohol can’t be tasted but it provides warming. This beer is sweet and tasty and is also so easy to drink. It has a vinous quality and at times tastes like chocolate covered cherries. This one is dangerously good! bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 7, 2009 Pours a foamy bubbly brown brew with sudsy beige head. Spritzy soda aroma is like coke and 7up, a citrusy and spicy foreground and not much else. Ginger, orange. Palate not as carbonated as it seems, which is good. Flavors beat the aromas. The sweet malt comes through a little and the result is a good fruitcake-like body replete with the strange red candied bits. Sweet, simple, and refreshing.
