| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 27, 2007 220z - Thanks Jay and Jen - Rusty brown, creamy tan head. Peat smoked chocolate nose that fades into notes of caramel, cherry, and toasted toffee brittle. Flavor is a well balanced malt bomb with smokey chocolate and nut flavors that lay on beds of cherry toffee brittle and plum. Full bodied, medium carbonation, rich malty finish. A well crafted brew that’s perfect for mid-winter late night sippin by the fireplace... mkobes (2104), paramus, New Jersey, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 16, 2007 Poured a dark brown with a off white head. Showed some lacing. Had great hints of caramel, and the alcohol was not masked very well. That did not bother me though. Nice hints of caramel, chocolate, oak , scotch. Finished with a strong sticky alcohol taste on the tongue. Jmichael (633), Asheville, North Carolina, USA
