| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Bottle, 500ml. Pours marmalade-golden, with intially deep head that quickly dissipates into non-existence. Dark malt and treacle on the nose, and slightly syrupy on the palate, with honey overtones. A very decent ale. zach8270 (2085), Henrietta, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 28, 2009 (bottle - 500 ml) Ruby red pour with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is very sweet with lots of fruits and caramel malts. Flavor is equally as sweet. Lots of dark fruits and caramel malts dominate the flavor and mixes with a light smoky and port-like flavor. Finishes sweet and creamy. I bet it could’ve easily taken another year of aging. Pinball (2781), Allerød, Denmark

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 25, 2009 spicy, fruity aroma with a huge initial head which slowly dissapates into the English pint glass quite loudly. As it settles into a cooper pour and off white head, I notice the malt aroma and raisans. Nicely balanced, sweet up front bitter swallow and a mellow bitter after taste. Pretty good effort from across the pond, but lacking that certain backbone... drfabulous (1235), Columbia, Missouri, USA
