Nice spicy coriander, sweet malt and yeast aroma. Sweet malts, sugar, coriander spice along with some yeasty breadiness hints that create nice flavor mix. No sense of the 10% ABV.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 15, 2006 Updated: Dec 8, 2008Re-rate, old bottle from JohnC strong ale 08, likely 5 years old, damn. Growler. I’ve had this beer many time but had it again last night so I thought why not rate it. This beer grows on you, and is really a fantastic brew. Pours a nice light straw with a small whit head. Very bubbly looking. The taste is extremely complex and yummy and the strength of the ale is well felt in the driking. I’m certainly a convert, although it took me a while. RagallachMC (631), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 8, 2006 750ml bottle. Aroma: strong yeast and bread aroma. Candi sugar. Coriander is there, but not as strong as I thought it would be. Orange and some strong alcohol. Appearance: Medium orange in color and murky. Whitish head was smallish but creamy looking. Head didn’t last long and collapsed into a small film. Not much lacing. Flavor: Strong sweetness upfront. Some sweet malt, but alot of candi sugar, as well. Yeast and bread come through strong again. Light coriander-tinged spiciness with some orange undertones. Strong alcohol right before the finish. Palate: Medium-high bodied. Medium-low carbonation. Finish was too sweet. Alcohol warming in the back of mouth. Overall: Somewhat disappointing. Way too sweet and lacking the flavor punch I was hoping for. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 2, 2006 Pours darker gold with a short-lived bubbly head. Aroma full of yeast, bread, apples, and coriander. Very smooth motuhfeel and taste. Nice balance between the Candi sugar and fruity tartness. Trippel-like yeastiness with more of an alcoholic back. Very enjoyable. puzzl (2635), New York, New York, USA
