| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 28, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. Drink before Jan 09 notched on label Pour is mahogany, mostly clear, visible carbonation. Nicely formed 2 inch off white head. Aroma of cardboard, some malty nuttiness, slight synthetic sweetness, perhaps a hint of roast malt. Taste is quite a bit cleaner then the nose, mostly featuring the hazelnut maltiness and slight cherry sweetness. Sweetness is much less chemically then the nose, but still reminds me a little of cough drops. Palate is thin medium, a bit slick, quick forgettable finish. Thanks for sending this my way Brian.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 25, 2008 Bottle. Terrible artwork. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Simple malty with some light hop bitterness, a vegetable aroma as well as something lightly smoky. Nothing great slightly metallic finish. flatmatt (223), Northville, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 25, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours clear brown amber with an off-white head. Aroma is malty and sweet. Flavor is sweet, malty toasted biscuit with mild smoke and vague hints of nuts, anise, and grapes. As it warms, a bit of cirtusy hops come out, but the sweetness really becomes a bit more of a sickly sweetness. I was close to giving it something along the lines of a 3.6 until the sweetness just became too much.
