| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Dec 27, 2009 12oz bottle I picked up at Chevy Chase Wine. Pours a translucent, copper amber with a frothy white head. Aroma is earthy, malty, biscuits, crackers, a little yeast, bready. Flavor is sweet, crackers, biscuits, some light citrus. Full bodied, actually a little thick for the style, with a dry finish. robinvboyer (1444), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 14, 2009 Dark brown pour with an odd semi sour, metallic aroma. The flavor is sour with some mild hops and more metal. This beer must have been off. garthicus (1356), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 10, 2009 Thanks to HogTownHarry for sharing this with Blankboy and I. Appearance: Ruby red body with a lasting brown head. Aroma: Malt, caramel, vegetal, alcohol and a quirky something I just can’t quite identify. Flavour: Copper, battery, sharp malt, some bitterness and a long bitter metallic finish. Meh. HogTownHarry (4037), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 10, 2009 Bottle ( 341ml ). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, via trade with JulienHuxley. Slightly cloudy ruby-amber, long-lasting average creamy-foamy tan head. Dry, slightly tart aroma - some alcohol, dry spice and slightly sweet roast caramel malt. Taste is ... metallic, eventually a nutty sweet caramel taste emerges, but the metal is very off-putting. Average body, dry, lightly carbonated, with a longish metal/mineral linger. Something not quite right here. punkska101 (123), Chambly, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 6, 2009 Bottle: Clear Dark ruby with beige head med carbonation. NIce malt backbone. The finish is bitter and long. Carmel show in front then come chocolate. Excellent balance it’s easy to drink. It does finish dry. asheft (1592), Marburg, Germany

Quite sour, woody and dry aroma. Notes of banana and grape. Cloudy, dark orange-brown topped by a thin, beige blanket. Sour and nutty toffee flavour with some vegetal hops and chocolate notes. Mild bitterness and dry finish. Moderate carbonation. probstk (1086), Nepean, Ontario, Canada
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Dec 3, 2009 341 ml bottle from Trappe a Fromage, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Deep copper, clear, rim of off-white.
Aroma: Nice crunchy malts and rich herbals, once it sits for a bit, this is replaced by nasty, stinky organic acids, there is an infection here.
Palate: Medium-ish body, moderate carbonation.
Flav.: Mainly barfy with some malts still trying to cling to life; off-dry with an unpleasant bitterness and lingering gross organic acids and barfy fatty acid-like flavours.
Something’s wrong. Drain pour. Unfortunate.
