| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 22, 2006 Bottle. Sweet fruity and hoppy nose. Strong earthy notes. Pours clear orange with a huuuge creamy beige head, rocky and extensively-lacing. Hoppy and lightly bitter. Caramel, toffee, light earthiness. Dark sweetness. Light-medium body. Very soft mouthfeel, balanced and gentle. This leans toward the watery side, but no matter, it’s a good session. Aurelius (2647), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 19, 2006 A distinctly milky aroma with sweet caramel and volatile western hops which are piney and vanilla on the inhale. Brilliant, reddish-bronze and very clear. Interesting label. Grassy, somewhat drier and more cereal than I was expecting, acidic. Not a huge hop charge, but a building bitterness. Crisp and amply CO<sub>2</sub> charged, medium body. Aftertaste has some very light roast and chocolate. I gave a bottle of this to PorterPounder a couple of months back, and now my bread has come back upon the water. A very poised brew. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 18, 2006 I was a little disappointed in this beer from Left Hand after devouring the Milk Stout. It had great potential after the pour. Rich amber color with a thin head with a little lacing. The first drink was ok, but the next had an odd lasting taste, and it wasn’t the hops. eaglefan538 (2360), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 14, 2006 Updated: Mar 18, 2007Poured an amber color, thin head, ok retention, even some lacing. The aroma was woody and musty, Flavor was nice caramel and toffee blend with wood underneath, light floral and fruity esters, as well as a touch of minty notes. Mouthfeel was medium bodied, a little sticky for the style. Enjoyable. Re-rate, 3/07, draft at Tapwerks in OKC: diacetyl bomb, along with some other similar flavors as described above. Won’t drop the ratings this time, but if it happens again.... SDalkoholic (1188), Chula Vista, California, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 10, 2006 Poured a copper amber with a lacing white head from the bottle. Interesting aroma, malty but also peppery and oily. Very light and watery on the palate. Slight malty flavor, not overly bitter or hoppy. I was disappointed, not a good ESB. Not enough flavor. waolsen (1222), Littleton, Colorado, USA
