| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 15, 2005 Can’t remember where I got this but is was an East Coast Rater.Pours a murky cloudy copper-honey with a thin ring around the glass of foam. Nose is almost exclusively soured fruit,apples maybe with a bit of caramel. Really nothing special as nothing stands out here. Tastes better then she smells.Man, got some nice fruits and syrupy malts but for sure not real sweet.Kinda’ like a candied fruit. stubby (326), Santee, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 14, 2005 Good triple, if a little different than most. Almost an abt. Beautiful amber color, dark for a triple. Great sweet flavors of sugar cookies. Very filling, almost as full bodied as barley wine. Good stuff, especially for an American brewer.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 9, 2005 This is a very enjoyable belgian. It doesn’t jump out in any area, it’s sweet, but not too sweet. Fruity, but not too fruity. The 9 percent alcohol is nice. elnadeau (786), Laguna Niguel, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 7, 2005 Bottle, pours silty beige amber, aroma of yeast, fruit, spice and alcohol. Sweet fruity malt character is somewhat peachy with peppery notes, medium bodied mouthfeel, finish is somewhat bitter but quite yeasty with alcohol not well hidden. A decent beer but lacking some overall distinction that would elevate higher amongst it’s peers for the style. leitrim65 (398), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 4, 2005 Copper color with a small white head floating on top. Strong aroma of sweet bananas, peach, pineapple, alcohol, and bubblegum along with elements of nutmeg, spice, and yeast. Good balance of flavors wth sweet flavors of fruit, molasses and alcohol most prevelant. Additional flavors of yeast, spice, and nutmeg contribute. The finish is a sticky sweet molasses type flavoring. Interesting beer.
