But, once you have had a few, it tastes quite good. An acquired taste to be sure, but once you have, you’ll be happy about it. tgncc (851), Bellmore, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 6, 2009 Very akin to a Barley Wine, IMHO. The aroma was very fruity, brown sugar, raisins. Tne appearance is beautiful, a dark red/brown, off white head. The flavor is fruity, malty, brown sugar. Very nice. The finish has a decent component of hops, providing the appropriate bittering on the finish. The moutheel was very creamy and enjoyable. Excellent beverage overall.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 20, 2008 12oz bottle pours clear amber with tan head and some decent lacing. The aroma is typical Lagunitas, which I love, with rich roasty – crystal malts and mild pine hops along with some pale malts and dark fruity esters. The taste is pretty even keel with a mild introduction of roasty 90L – type crystal malts to start followed by a pulse of sweet malts and dark fruity esters. Some pine hops grow into the finish but never outshine the malts. Very tasty. SHANER4 (387), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA

Flavor is also sweet, tastes like a cherry blow pop with alochol on the palate. I enjoyed this brew and pretty much evey beer from Lagunitas. Great beer from an awesome brewer !!! troopie (915), USA
