| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 3, 2004 Man, I must of had a different beer than the others who have rated this. I thought it was excellent! Creamy head with a cloudy tawny body. The nose is absolutey wonderful with hints of spices, fruit, and hops. The palate is similiar offering a nice mix of mellow sweetness. Beer Snob (382), Ontario, Canada
| 0.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 2/20 | Feb 7, 2007 Updated: Feb 17, 2007Very fragrant of hops and fruitiness. A deep amber with a good head. Smooth and not too carbonated. A dry hoppy flavour mixed with some fruit and a real nice quencher. The real deal as far as I’m concerned and I have stocked up on this beauty.
RE-RATING - This ale got a 3.9 from me based on the first 2 bottle I tried. After restocking, I have now had 3 consecutive bottles basically explode like a volcano upon opening. Obviously off - I even tasted one of them - foul semlling, unstoppable carbonation, completely undrinkable and makes a huge mess. A tribute to the fine folks at Ontario’s beer monopoly that they would not properly store a beer they then charged $3.50 a bottle for. So, my new rating is based on the fact that most of the bottles I’ve opened were undrinkable. joohefner (380), Isla Vista, California, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 7, 2007 Very good looking dark ruby color with large disappearing head. Aroma had strong fruit, malt, and alcohol notes. Flavor was pretty bad. Alcohol was very evident, as well as a sharp bitter taste some here are calling metallic. I drank about half, but couldn’t force the rest of it.
