| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 18, 2009 Bottle. Very malty aroma. Light amber color with average head; not as dark as I would like to see for an autumn ale. Tasted roasted malt with a bitter finish of hops. Decient way to start off the fall season. williamherbert (466), Syracuse, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 3, 2009 Pours a heavy carbonation in a clear, glassy reddish orange. Two fingers of extremely thick white head, which does not move at all. Really dynamic look and very nice lace. Looks great.
The aroma’s thickness actually impedes the aroma of this one. What little does come through is typical pub ale with a little flowery hop presence. The taste is thick, roasted caramel malts, with some flowery hops. Very mild hop flavor; more like a regular ale really, but a decent one. Malts really bring some flavor. Sweet caramel and tobacco; nutty and toasty. More bold malts than anything. Feels thick and a tad fizzy. Leaves its film after swallow. A solid, quasi-hopped ale. The malts are dark and deep. A really diverse ale and surprisingly good. Cletus (5052), Connecticut, USA
