| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 29, 2002 Very nice lace, dense sheets between erratic lumpy spots. Reddish brown body. Loaded with barley, lots of barley. Some subdued floral hoppiness, but barley all around. It is a robust brew, with decent balance. The Green glass doesnt help though. papajohn (1055), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 28, 2002 Pours dark like a cola with a medium beige head. Nose is sweet and malty. Flavor: Start is sweet, finish somewhat dry. Thin mouth feel, but tasty and drinkable. CaptainCougar (5517), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 24, 2002 Very nice roasted palate and a wonderfully malty aroma. The body is too thin and could be sweeter, but overall, a respectably decent brew. Mangili (10), Providence, Rhode Island, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 23, 2002 Just enough malt, nice sweetness. A great drinkable bock Jokes (1453), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2002 As is pretty obvious, this is a rather malty beer. The aroma is off dry biscuits, shortcake and wheat bread. The flavors are still quite malty, with a touch of sweetness. A very nice beer, better than I expected. I will concur, and say this is a wonderful change to the many ales I’ve been drinking recently. Slick (1962), Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 8, 2002 Strong malt in nose and flavor with some hints of chocolate very nice change from the ales i’ve been having lately fly (1332), austin, Tejas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 6, 2002 Feelings for this have wavered over the years. First found it in a deli in Manhattan 20 some odd years ago and thought it was the best. A few years later feelings slid. I enjoy the maltiness and break from my standard fare of mega hopped beers. Very nice.
