| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 11, 2009 Pours a murky orage with a small off white lace. Smells like an aged barleywine. Hard to find the hops in the flavor too. Would like to try a fresh bottle or better yet have this on tap to rerate. GandGKevin (191), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 9, 2009 11.5 fl. oz. bottle -> English pint glass. Pours a wonderfully cloudy, dark tree-sap-amber. Moderate lacing, from an espresso-colored head, which itself was quick to retreat. Smells of hops, sour grapefruit, and burned sugar/caramel. Tastes similar. Bitter and sour, with sufficient sweetness on the back end. Mild taste of alcohol. An excellent beer. punkska101 (99), Chambly, Quebec, Canada

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Poured yellow with a white head, smelled of british style hops, and tasted the same which don’t work well with the malt. Overall fairly hoppy but not enough and not as tasty as one would think. zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy caramel, off white head. Aroma is tangy dried fruit and grassy. Flavor is malty and hoppy: graham cracker, citrus, and honey dough. A bit too doughy for me.
