| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Pours dark copper with a 1 finger, creamy, beige head. Aroma is sweet grainy malt, caramel, whole peppercorns, light floral and citrus notes, nose is somewhat weak, but very interesting. Flavor is strong caramel, earthy notes, light rye notes, nice pepper melange notes, sweet grain and dusty straw. Finish is sweet malt, toast and pepper. Palate is medium bodied, creamy entry, very dry finish, with a slight peppery burn. I like it, off the beaten path in a good way, not fantastic stuff, but interesting.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Flaske: Brun let gennemsigtig øl med et fint skumhoved. Diskret duft af peber og humle. Smagen er først let maltdomineret, men peberen slår hurtigt igennem på en flot og meget komplementerende måde. Virkelig en anderledes og spændende øl. dben900 (8), richmond, Virginia, USA does not count | 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 3, 2009 12 oz bottle at Caliente in Richmond.

Fresh ground black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg on the nose. Malty backbone with a strong pepper bite.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 29, 2009 341 ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish-brown with small slightly off-white head. Caramel malt, pepper, rye and spice in the nose. Caramel malt at the start of the taste is quickly overtaken by the pepper. Lots of pepper, although it gets muted somewhat by the rye. Warm, spicy finish. Interesting but don’t know if I’ll be rushing for a second. Travlr (727), Washington, Washington DC, USA

More pepper than lemon, though. Tolly Cobbold had an IPA like this about 15 years ago in Suffolk, England. Interesting. BMan1113VR (2815), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
