| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 1, 2008 Tasting @ Capone’s: Poured a dark amber color with not a lot of head. The aroma was that of dirt and hops. The flavor had some sweetness like caramel with a nice balance of hops. Over all of our favorites at this tasting. puboflyons (629), New Hampshire, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 16, 2009 From a 12 fl. oz. bottle with a bottled date of 012209 and a number of 090107. This pours a nice looking amber-orange with lively carbonation that rises to a two finger, foamy beige head. The aroma is hoppy all the way, almost like an IPA. Perhaps some background fruity element. Medium mouthfeel with good texture. The flavor is hoppy and sweet all at once and rather unique. A bitter finish. Yum-Oh. wickedpete (629), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 19, 2008 I’ve been drinking this all the time lately. I love the smooth, thick, dry mouthfeel and the toasted chocolaty flavor. It’s got just a light bitter hoppy note that comes through in the finish deliciously. BennyTicklez (621), USA

Light hop aroma with balanced malt character. Moderate Bitterness from the front to back. A little thin bodied. satan165 (620), River Grove, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 11, 2009 aroma is excellent balance of citric hop notes and hefty caramel backup. appearance is tarnished amber, yet translucent. flavor is chewy caramel with hop backup, an equal balance in opposite terms via the aroma. well balanced amber that still qualifies despite strong hopping. tbookman (618), Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 31, 2004 Light amber color - medium white head. Piney aroma. Flavor is lightly sweet with crisp hops and a bitter finish. Quenching and flavorful, moreso than most plain amber ales.
