| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 20, 2009 This flippy top bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to medium sized light brown colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a hazy strongly carbonated brown colored body. The mild aroma was woody and malt hop. The mildly vinous mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of hops and red malt. A decent one that I would consider buying again. LooseCannon (927), Norfolk, Virginia, USA

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Pours a muddy red with orange highlights. Very small white head. Aroma is weird... It’s like an odd amsh up of aromas, that don’t really work together. Toffee, chocolate, mint, crystal malt, and yeast. The flavor is very boozy, and a little watery, and unballanced. Not really a fan of this beer. Glad I didn’t pay the ridicoulous price they want for this one! SSSteve (2062), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 8, 2009 2008 ceramic. sitting on the store shelf for about a year. deep garnet color with a medium sized tan head. malty aroma with chocolate covered caramels. flavor is delightfully sweet with lots of caramel malt. some notes of brown sugar,cocoa, and orange jelly. the typical rogue hoppiness is in the background here for once. it’s more malt driven to me. full body. almost creamy but not quite. no alcohol noticeable. pretty good stuff but pricey.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours a very deep red, with an off-white, persistent, and moderately lacing head. Nose is huge malt, very Belgian in a sense, big bitterness, lovel fruit, loads of fig and toffee. Like a failed IAPA or a light barleywine. Palate is well rounded, more Belgian-esque fruit, plus toffee, hops, richness, and mild booze. A very interesting beer, but i would hesitate to call this brilliant. thornecb (1759), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 3, 2009 Pours deep mahogany tinged red into a snifter. Beige head quickly recedes to skim surface. Pacman and resin aromas. Slightly flat with an underlying spritz. Caramel from front to back with a lasting bitter pine finish. TipsyMcStager (916), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 25, 2009 Pours a murky brown/red with tannish head. Aroma is earthy malt and caramel. Sweetish, earthy tones and some alcohol. Heavy on the palate.
