| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Bottle via Bonster.....Pours a moderate ruby / amber with a tight tan head that normally settles to a film. Body is neither light or medium but calmly lives tween the two. Body is mellow and long. Finish is muted and lingers on my desirous palate. Ripe stone fruits reservedly dance upon your palate and are intermingled with candi sugar, cardomom and corriander. To paraphrase Eric Idle...."9%???...you must be mad!....I wont accept even 7% on this!" Completly enjoyable. Bonster (84), Jersey Shore, New Jersey, USA

Aroma is caramel and dark fruits. Up front the flavor is dark fruits and molasses accompanied by nuts with a hint of spice and yeast bringing up the rear. Slightly warming at the end but I think the alcohol is well hidden for the strength. Me likey. Nisse666 (384), Göteborg, Sweden

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 25, 2009 (Bottle) Very sweet. Aroma mostly of bananas and caramel, but remarkably complex. Some unpleasant sourness, in addition to being, in my opinion, too sweet. I have mixed feelings on this one; A+ for the aroma but lacking in the flavor and overall feel of the beer. humulushound (113), British Columbia, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 23, 2009 Rich hazelnut brown with a thick tan head. Smells of caramel, baked plantains, raisin, earthy undertones. Flavor is dates, light cinnamon, sweet bread, light coco with warming alcohol. Body is medium and smooth. A well-crafted ale.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2009 Bottle: The aroma consists of caramel, fruit, raisin, and faint chocolate. It pours a dark hazy (bordering on cloudy) amber with a quarter inch tightly bubbled head that fades to a thin ring around the edges of the glass within thirty seconds or so. The flavor starts with light caramel and a hint of chocolate. The finish becomes very fruity along with some light-moderate notes of raisin. A chocolate fruitiness lingers in the aftertaste. It’s medium bodied with lively and lightly prickly carbonation.
