| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 23, 2005 orange brown color. not much head which is disapppointing. delicious aroma. orange and a little alcohol. cherry cognac flavors and a little bready too. drinkability is poor; just too damn much alcohol flavor. 10% is not hidden well. my overall rating will be skewed higher than it deserves due to the nice nose. jazz88 (2237), San Francisco, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 19, 2005 Bottle. A brown tea color with a tan head. A strong fruit nose with apple, cider, and pears along with a pepper, cloves, candy, and Belgian spices. Sparkling and fizzy on the palate, it starts sweet and spicey and finishes dry. Dark fruit and apple flavors throughout with a sharp peper and spiced flavor. clifford0163 (93), Maryland, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 18, 2005 Its got a nice flavor to it and its has the nice warming feel from the alcholol as well but it was not worth the price tag of $11 dollars frankenkitty (1902), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 18, 2005 Appears brandy-ish and sticky with red highlights and sediment in suspension. Not much of a head to start left a slim touch of foam ringing the glass to finish. Sweet, heavy, bready malts with honey, brandy and plums in the aroma. Thick, sweet & relaxing in flavor, malt-heavy. A slow-sipper with cinnamon lingering on the tongue for quite awhile to follow.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 12, 2005 On tap at Landmark 1850 Inn - Milwaukee. Pour was a clear and deep ruby/amber with a medium tan head. Nice intricate lacing as this one went down. Deep dark fruits and other malts provided a strong basis for the aroma and the flavor. Spices and candi sugar were also present in the aroma and flavor. Flavor gets an extra point for being slightly more bold and intense than the nose. Very smooth and coating on the palate, with some warmth at the back of the throat. This was an excellent brew! Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 9, 2005 Pours cloudy amber with small head that fades fast. Some hops in aroma, but pretty light. Flavor is of sweet malt and light hops. An enjoyable beer, but nothing to get excited about.
