| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 12, 2009 Pours a reddish amber with a thin white head. Typical amber ale malty aroma, with a spicy, vanilla scent. Medium to full in body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is caramel malt, vanilla, nuts, clove, and plenty of spice. Nice dry finish. I actually enjoyed this one more than I expected when I saw the ratings. mcox90 (649), Wilton, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 10, 2009 12 oz botlle acquired in trade with Soonah. Pours an unattractive muddy reddish brown color with a 1/2" beige head. Aroma was sort of like caramel malt. but had a funk to it. Average palate with average carbonation. Flavor was a mix of malt, earth and a hint of chocolate. Not bad, certainly drinkable, but nothing special either. milljam (584), Norman, Oklahoma, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 6, 2009 Fresh 2009 batch, 12oz bottle into a pint glass. The pour is a neat red brown with a one-finger off-white head that shrinks but sticks around. The aroma is fresh citrus hops with some chocolate back there somewhere. The flavor is aged hops, some chocolate, and a lot of nuttiness with a hint of salty Chinese food in there (not really sure how else to describe this). Medium body, medium carbonation. thornecb (1804), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA

Off-white head pancakes as it recedes to sicken surface leaving sheet lacing. Dark caramel aromas. Dry sharp caramel upfront turning slightly sour in the astringent metallic finish. ronaldtheriot (64), Laplace, Louisiana, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 6, 2009 This ale has little to no aroma, a reddish color, and a rather bitter taste. It is not super flavorful, but it’s pretty good. I enjoyed it more as I drank it. It has a heavy mouth feel, and it felt fattening. Overall, I liked it.
