| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 7, 2007 Starts off well, but fades fast. You get just a hint of a full bodied ale, but it drops off nearly immediately. Because it had no lasting power, I wouldn’t go for it again, or recommend it for that matter. Beyond that, I can’t really think of anything constructive to deliver to you.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Sep 4, 2007 Tap. Dark reddish brown. Medium, foamy, tan head. Woody flavors. Aromas of cereal & herbs. Finish, slight bitterness. Cask could be the best option for this beer. sm89walt (439), Canterbury, Kent, England
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 3, 2007 Updated: Jun 16, 2009Bottled. Pours a dark brown and has a small, tan head. Sweet caramel and roasted malt aromas. Nutty and chocolate flavours with a slight hoppy kick and then a larger dose of dry hops in the finish. Perhaps a touch thin on the palate but easily drinkable.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 1, 2007 Rather thin-bodied but tasty. The Hobgoblin’s flavor was a coffee-flavored malt with just a hint of grape. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 27, 2007 500ml bottle. 26th Jan 2007. Pours dark brown with a small head and little carbonation. Hoppy aroma and sweet, nutty malt taste. A bit too sweet for this little complexity. Not very memorable and rather average. Cruzan59 (197), Lititz, Pennsylvania, USA

Soft water,very little head, with a taste of quality ingredients. No off flavors or smells. Thin palate and no taste of alcohol. Mild sticky cough syrup at end and a little metallic on the finish.
