| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 6, 2009 This beer pours a deep amber/brown with a medium tan head with lots of yeast in it. The aroma is dried fruits (raisins) and brown sugar. The flavors are candied sugar, raisins, and dates. This was an ok beer, but there is so much better out there.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Got this in a bottle from the Porterhouse in Dublin. Has a deep, dark brown colour with lasting tan head. Has a rather fruity aroma. Tasted very strong and the alcoholic kick is not just noticeable in the finish. Tasted pretty sweet with flavors of fruit and caramel distinctive. Well balanced. Very good and wins extra marks for the excellent bottle and label! f351c4v (404), Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 2, 2009 On tap @ Bar Louie. Pours a slightly hazy dark amber color with a small head. Pungent sweet raisin aroma, lots of brown sugar and sour fruit in the body; random spiciness throughout. Better than Tremens, but you knew that. TheJester (700), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 2, 2009 750 mL bottle. 2006 vintage. Dark hazy brown with a thick brown head. Sweet fruity/spicy aroma with some brown sugar in there as well. Flavour is quite sweet as well, with caramel, lots of dried dark fruit, and some spicy yeast. Medium body and carbonation. Good, but for some reason I expected more. KyotoLefty (1384), Kyoto, Japan

Dark brown with orange tints and a low, thick, head. Aroma of caramel, citrus and other fruit, chocolate, spices. Slightly metallic flavor with chocolate and caramel, raisin, slightly sour cherries. Reasonably complex and un-annoying. Finished with a slight roasted coffee-like bitterness coming after a rather half-hearted sour flavor. Ok, if a little sloppy and unexciting.

Lots of lacing with an aroma of alcohol, molasses, and caramel. I really wanted to love this beer but just thought it was ok Hopper (295), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 27, 2009 An unclear brown beer with sediment & no head. The aroma is like alcohol soaked fruit. The taste is fruity with apples being the most dominant, sweet, & alcohol that is similar to a wine taste.
