| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 20, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a slight reddish hue. Has a thick and foamy tan head with no real lacing. A lot of visible carbonation. A very strong sour-yeasty nose with sweet brown sugar, caramel, and maybe a touch of molasses malt goodness. A full malt flavor with sourness at the beginning and a nutty caramel middle with a slightly dry finish. Not a whole lot of body, but carbonation leaves a creamy finish.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 15, 2008 Bottle, 75cl, corked. Beautiful dark brown pour, against light it becomes more red than brown. Very little head. A sweetish malty aroma with notes of coriander, yeast, fruits, dark chocolate. Full mouthfeel with lots of carbonation. -A sweet taste of roasted malt, apricot, ash, licorice and chocolate. Interestingly the metal packaging my bottle came in says that the beer has 8% alcohol, but the label on the bottle says 7,5% ! oldpainless (35), fort mill, South Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 12, 2008 Nice med. brown color. A bit more carbonation than I expected but not a drawback at all. Hints of fruit & spice give it a good flavor. Just the right amount of hoppiness makes for a good finish. I like this beer alot more than I thought I would & it is moving up in the ranks.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a medium brown with nice tan head. Aroma is yeasty with malt and dark fruits. Flavor is moderately sweet and definitely full of raisin with winelike notes and a full load of maltiness. Finish is clean with a hint of sweetness and spice. Very active and light carbonation offsets a slightly oily body for a good mouthfeel. Very tasty. GirlyBeer (183), Biddeford, Maine, USA
