| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 5, 2009 12 oz bottle. I’ve never been a big fan of this style. It’s too malty for my tastes. Not much of a head here. Smells of molasses and malt. Nice amber hue. Definitely a quality beer. It’s drinkable, but I don’t forsee ever buying this again.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Aug 30, 2009 Cask at the brewery 7/16/09. Pours a nice amber, with only mild earthy hops aroma. Good bitter, but pretty mild. Smooth with clean finish. Decent example of the style, though I feel the cask makes me biased. asheft (1382), Marburg, Germany

Nice caramel and toffee aroma with some faint estery lemon and apricot. Hazy bronze covered by thin, lacy white. Strawberry and honey flavour with toffee and a little watermelon. Subtle bitterness is just enough to balance the honey sweet malt. Medium carbonation, medium body, not quite crisp, clean finish. milljam (569), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 28, 2009 Did not think this was a bitter. Was more reminiscent of a hoppy amber. That being said this is still a pretty good brew. Nice hop presence of pine and resin with a solid caramel malt undertone. Bitterness is moderate. blankboy (3189), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Mild aroma of caramel malt, some breadiness, light hops and some light buttery notes. Flavour of caramel malt, mild sweet fruit and light hops. Medium bodied. Just O.K.
