| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 6, 2008 Finally available in my home town. The pour is a nice dark amber, the head is a small ring of bubbles lacing the top of the glass. The aroma is citrusy malts. The flavor is true to the aroma, the hops a touch more flowers than in the aroma. A very enjoyable beer. joshwilfong (776), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 29, 2008 Cant’ believe I never bothered to rate this one. pours out a moderate to dark brownish color with some orange tones. Small, thin head with a caramel, dark fruit aroma. Taste is of light chocolate, caramel, toffee, slight fruit with a slightly boozy finish. Solid riversideAK (2670), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 29, 2008 Bottle from a forgotten source. Pours a dark auburn color with a thin non lasting head. The aroma has notes of chocolate, toffee, and ripe/over ripe dark fruits. Flavors are very similar. More chocolate an dark fruits dominate. Sweetness is medium to strong, yet it is never cloying or overpowering. Clean finish for how much is going on. A good beer in a style that is not my favorite. BeerBunker (607), Burbank, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 25, 2008 Pours a dark brown, almost amber color with a tan head. Aroma is of malts, bread, raisins, and other dark fruits. Taste was very complex, with malts, fruits, and chocolate balanced out by sugars and yeast. Lingering taste of fruit. Very delicious and easily drinkable without being to complex.
