| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 5, 2008 Bottle from West Lakeview Liquors, Chicago. Dark brown almost opaque with red tint and small tan body. Aroma is nutty, chocolate, a little biscuit, sweet like belgian candy sugar, a little molasses, very rich. Molasses is the first flavor with nuttiness, rasisins and other dark fruit, chocolate, very enjoyable but the alc comes out a little too much towards the finish. Medium body that feels a little watery. A very good beer overall even if there were a few things detracting from it. phishpond417 (1914), Madison, Wisconsin, USA

This beer carries a nice nutty roasted malts aroma with a creamy caramel texture throughout each taste. Rich and a little touch of wood. a little sweet and a nice soft hops finish.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 6, 2008 When you pour this beer, it is a half a glass of foam. It remains to be seen wheter that is a good thing or not. Dark brown opaque, large tan head that doesn;t last long enough. Good lacing. Alcoholic malt aroma. Bread, brown sugar, and hop flavor. Medium mouthfeel with slight bite. Good olde fashioned flavor and texture, taste, and appeal. thomat (666), Göteborg, Sweden

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 6, 2008 Pours dark brown with a small head that dissipates really quickly. Not much aroma or flavor. If there’s something here it’s too subtle for me to find. tarc (47), New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 4, 2008 Mild malt aroma, expected more. Color was a dark brown, slightly opaque with minimal head. Good flavor although I thought the yeast was just a bit stong and it didn’t finish as smooth as I’d like. Still a very good beer. rayOfBeer (316), El Cerrito, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 3, 2008 Poured from 12oz bottle a darker brown with off-white small foam head that faded quickly. Light aromas of malt were all I could detect. Flavor pours in with heavy caramel and toffee notes, maybe a bit of bready malt with some soft roast and just a touch of soy or whorchestshire sauce. The palate was note very sweet nor was it dry and hardly a trace of anything bitter. It is an odd beer, one I would drink again but not seek out.
