| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 14, 2007 Very fizzy and somewhat thin, but a nice rich mahogany color. Aroma is sweet malts. Flavor is much the same, lots of sweet malt, somewhat creamy, some unpronounced fig, not complex, too sweet, a bit too much of an alcohol presence. Im surprised it is rated as high as it is.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 13, 2007 Glowing jeweltone copper, thin head. Muted aromas of dough and buttery malt. Subdued nutty flavor, baking bread, flowery hop, and smooth grapey alcohol. Grainy finish with mild, muddy bitterness. Thin, slippery palate; flabby. Warming ethanol aftertaste. Well brewed, yet timid in all respects... might as well be drinking Newcastle. cbait21 (18), Delaware, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 3, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Clear deep amber with a medium, but sturdy, off white head . Strong caramel malt aroma, some peppery spice, and even a little fruitiness. Medium body, smooth, rich mouthfeel. Although the sweet malt flavors dominate, sufficient balance comes in at the finish. kreepindeth (405), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 28, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Poured a dark cherrywood color with tight off white head that quickly dissipated, leaving uniform lacing. Aroma of bread and malt, heavy and sweet. Medium bodied beer, which is easy to drink, which may not be a good thing given the ABV. Bready front palate, easing into a dark fruity mid palate and finishing with sweet, roasty grain taste. Lovely for colder days and when wanting something a bit sweet without overkill.
