| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 27, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer. Very dark ruby, thin tan head. Yes a little bocky on aroma, some fresh prune, some jammy fruit. Yes its a half decent beer, with a lot of dry malt in the mouth and on the swallow. Some faint hop sting on the end. Its fine. Quite drinkable. TizzleJizzle (57), Garland, Texas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Resin and herbal aroma. Poured a gorgeous dark red color with great head retention. Excellent initial taste of citrus, floral, and hay. However, I don’t like the lingering bitter after taste. I don’t mind the hoppy after taste, but idk what I taste afterwards, perhaps I got a bad batch. Overall this is a good beer. I’ll try another batch later on and adjust my score if need be.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Poured cloudy and brown with reddish highlights. A two-finger tall, off-white head appeared and offered average lacing. The aroma was lots of malts, light toffee and slightly metallic. The flavor was malts, toffee, unchecked alcohol and a touch of chocolate. Almost medium in body. Didn’t quite come together for me. The weird combination of metal and alcohol on the finish really distracted me. williamherbert (466), Syracuse, New York, USA

Heavy cherry sweet liqueur smell, like a barleywine. Roasted malt is nutty and also sweet; brown sugary. Some mild grape notes.
Harsh sweet cherry flavor mixed with burnt, nutty malt. Brown sugar with grainy barley. Molasses and corn syrup.
Feels syrupy and thick. Has a sharp little bite on the back of the tongue. Ashy and substantial. Good, but not great. Strong and sweetly roasted. beercamel (84), Chicago, Illinois, USA
