| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 13, 2008 yeasty coffee aroma, muddy sludgy appearance. not much of a head, save for a thin veil until i agitated the yeast on the bottom and then the complete creamy goodness comes out. called an approach to a brown, but tastes like an abbey dubbel. swirl between sweet malt, sour base, and dusty yeast with the molasses sweetness peaking in the finish before finally yielding to a soft leafy alpha hop bitterness. killjoy966 (219), Washington, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 9, 2008 Pours out much darker than I expected. Smells a bit like coffee and vodka. Sweet and malty flavors with a bitter alcohol finish. Best with BBQ pulled pork. radiomgb (1958), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 15, 2008 Dark brown in colour, thin white coloured head, very light lacing. The aroma was of gingerbread, light alcohol, caramel, piney hops. The flavour is a bit hoppy, some caramel malt sweetness, raisins and alcohol. Lightly hoppy mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes bitter, mildly sweet. A bit hoppy, very light roast but quite boring.
