| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 21, 2009 Bottle from BevMo. Dark orange copper color with a multifinger, fine beige head. Aromas of yeast, spice and roasted caramel. Medium plus body with coarse carbonation. Flavor is malty, clove spicey and a bit veggie/herby. Though not exactly dry, it is somewhat astringent. Finishes dryish, with malt hanging around, and seems a bit mapley or dark fruity. The funniest part, I think there is funk turning up after awhile. Maybe it’s some kind of herb. Overall though it’s decently tasty and complicated. Tmoney99 (4783), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Mar 19, 2009 Bottle from Bevmo in La Jolla: Created a thick abruption of creamy soft pillowed foam while the beer was a light brown color. The nose has an obvious scent of alcohol and cigar tobacco but also a weird scent of mutated Belgian yeast. Flavors range from a nutty brown ale taste to a stale oxidized abbey dubbel. There is only minor suggestion that spiced yeast was present but as for the finish strong rich buttery aftertaste that just doesn’t sit right with me. Gypsy19 (653), California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 18, 2009 Pours a cloudy brown with a large head. Aroma is spicy, boozy, and floral. The flavor in this one is excellent; Of spices and clove, flower petals, brown sugar, maple, and more. This is a very nice one overall, and I’m surprised it’s not rated higher. Overall, very good.
