| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 25, 2006 This bottled brew poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a body with both suspended carbonation and yeast floaties in a dark brown colored body with a fair lacing. The aroma was yeasty and malty. The mouth feel was vinous and tingly from start to finish then mellowed into a very nice vinous malty sweet caramel malt flavor. Very yummy. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 6, 2006 Dark brown and cloudy in color. Has a nice sweet taste which is a bit fruity. Beer is relativley hoppy for a winter ale. It has a bit of a dry finish. This beer is a nice winter ale for a cold winter day. Fantomas23 (463), Pewaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 5, 2006 This one would be a nice winter warmer when it gets down to around 28 degrees F. Appetizing malt sweetness to make one want to drink more and more until you’re all warmed up inside. I’m a little surprised by the hoppiness but it does well to balance out the flavors and keep it from being overly sweet.
