| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 1, 2008 Poured from a standard bottle into a pint glass. An earthy hops and spicy-sweet malt aroma, with some caramel. A clear, ruby-orange color with a smaller-sized foamy off-white head that had light retention. Taste is initially sweet and sugary, with some underlying sourness, and a slightly bitter finish with a light alcohol kick. Good carbonation and bite, with a warming finish, a thinner and more dry beer. Good brew for the winter with plenty of character. Acknud (772), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 30, 2007 Pretty amber with medium head. Caramel and fig or other dark fruit aroma. A little thin on the mouth but overall pretty drinkable. OldGrowth (1408), North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 30, 2007 Bottle, from trade with carny77. Great aroma. Fruity, yeasty. Apple, cardboard, caramel, minor bitter hops. Tad hazed dark orangy brown color, ok head that faded quickly, no lacing. Bitter sweet. Initial bite about it, then you get the fruitiness and caramel. Medium body, smooth creamy mouthfeel, sweet on the finish. Nice brew, really enjoyed the aroma, just kept sniffing it for minutes at a time. kmweaver (2436), Sebastopol, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 29, 2007 12oz bottle, shared by pjweaver (my bro). Thanks, Phil! Pours a clear, deep amber-brown color; light tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Pleasant amounts of dried fruits and caramel in the aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: dried dark fruits, caramel, and plenty of sugar upfront; very sweet and a bit too singular in the malt character; minimal balancing bitterness. Medium, candy sugar and toasted malts in the finish. Slipstream (747), USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 28, 2007 Updated: Jan 9, 200812 ounce bottle with a drawing of a satyr on the label. A good looking brown brew with red highlights, and a nice head that diminishes quickly. The flavor is full, sweet, and malty, with dashes of caramel, bread, and figs. The hops and yeast are pretty light, but some alcohol harshness does show thru. It is soft on the palate with a pleasant aftertaste. This has some similarity to a Yankee dubbel. A fine beer.

Pours a pure and clear ruby with a creamy head that dies eventually and laces. Smells of caramel and a mild bit of hops. Tastes creamy, vanilla, chocolate and a tid bit of hops at the end. Medium in the mouth with great carbonation. Drinkability is great. Could have a great sessionable day with these. Try it! popdoggy (100), USA
