Rare taste of sweet products, but at the same time it leaves you with a very strange bitter after taste. Disappointment! presario (2956), Calgary, Alberta, Canada

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 6, 2005 Had one of these at the Winking Lizard. Nose of wheat and berries with an initial hint of
figs, and plums as brew warms; could be bolder. The brew pours a clear dark copper.
The massive creamy tan head is tight and fully lasting. The lace hangs on the side of the
pint glass in sheets. The well balanced flavor is huge. Strong starting tones of pecans
and coffee. The warm alcoholic middle transcends into dried fruit and a rich bittersweet
finish. The medium creamy body is soft. szczepan (3), Canterbury, England does not count | 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Dec 2, 2005 568ml bottle. Lovely deep ruby colour and persistent though thin head. Subdued, musky, Christmas spice aroma like mulled wine that takes a good swirl to release.
Firm body with a strong peppery finish. Shame about the overt English marketing. MesandSim (5807), London, Greater London, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 2, 2005 A Mes rate:
Dusky tobacco tinged nose. Red-brown body with a reasonable cream head leaving fair lace. Bready and just slightly fruity. Maybe a little sour too. Slightly hoppy and generally mellow all round. Nothing much to write home about but not bad either. Chucks66 (84), Beachwood, Ohio, USA
