| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 12, 2008 Pours a deep burgundy with small, dissipating off-white head and a little spotty lacing. Nose is quite nice, with those vinous, rummy qualities you expect from a good old ale, with notes of oak and cherries, and even a hint of mint added to the complexity. Decent, smooth body with a nice full mouthfeel that leads from banana esters to deep lightly roasted malts and burnt toffee before a rooty licorice finish. A nice old ale. punainen6 (93), Finland

Aroma is a bit sweet with hints of oak. Sweet and sourish taste with notes of oak and dried fruits. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Quite full-bodied. I was expecting more from this beer.
