| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 31, 2009 This ale pronounces a sweet malt, molasses, cloves, marshmallow and caramel aroma followed by a café long lasting foamy head that stood there until the first sip came thru. A temperamental brew with notes of malt, caramel and chocolate fudge gently tasted on the first sip backpacking the flavors of candy, fruity yeastiness and peppery wood that took over the whole scenario. Nice brew! fata2683 (942), Panama City, Florida, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 26, 2009 Batch 73 Pours a thick black color with very little head to it. Has a molasses, fruit, and leather smell to it. Taste is of figs, molasses, maybe a little chocolate in there as well. Still pretty hot and needs a little time. Very complex flavor.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 22, 2009 Iced tea colored pour with a small, loose, white head. Ripe dark fruit aroma balanced with citrus, caramel, molasses, and alcohol. The flavor is a big tasty bomb of dark fruit and clover honey. There’s some notes of pine, grapefruit, rye, and pepper that add some nice layers of complexity. Sticky medium body with soft carbonation. f351c4v (411), Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 22, 2009 Bottle @ Shady’s. Pours a thick black color with no head to mention. Very sweet aroma littered with plums, raisins, even some maple. Not much carbonation here, but a healthy dose of chocolate, toffee, caramel, and malt (of course)! Huge, epic, and super sweet; finish lingers for quite a while. Jblauvs (644), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
