3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottle) Pours a murky brown body with a spare off-white head. Aroma of raisins, maple syrup, nutmeg, and malt. Nice balance of hoppy & malt flavors. The flavor reminds me of a vintage English Ale.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(2002 bottle) Cloudy chestnut body with small beige head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, green apple, plum, green raisin. Taste is sweet, malty, raisin/plum vinous. Alcohol in the finish is noticeable but surprisingly mild. Full body, but not full enough -- lacks syrup or sticky qualities.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at Sune’s.... Unclear red/brown - offwhite head. Raisins, dark dread, dried dark fruits, sparkling, sharp licorice finish. Portwine like. Not complex enough.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: JUN 14, 2005 Old Salty 2004. 12 oz bottle, pours a nicely carbonated head that reduces to a thin creamy head. Color is a dark caramel/amber and clear body. Rich deep taste and yes lots of malt. Just not my preference but I would enjoy coming across this again sometime.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled - 2003: Amber coloured clear. Light brown head. Sweetness, fruits, some spices and alcahol in the nose. Herbs, flowers and malt in the flavour. Loads of alcahol in the end. Quite nice, but I had ’em better.
