| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Bottle, 2009 bottling. Pours a lovely, clear, orange-copper body with off-white foam. Aroma of sugar, candy, caramel malts, bread, and maybe a hint of grapefruit hops. Flavor is more of the same with the hops slightly more pronounced. Medium to heavy body with a almost syrupy texture. Slightly sticky and cloying on the palate. Lightly carbonated. Overall, it’s decent but the syrupy mouthfeel gets to be too much after awhile.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 2, 2009 Bottle: 2009 Vintage: Reddish-orange color with a finger of creamy beige head. Smells sweet with a little spiciness and light florals. The taste is what really gets exciting... Sweet and floral, fruity, caramel, figs, and spices. The overall blend and balance of sweetness to hops to spice really keeps me from wanting to break it down... Like a mead kind of sweetness with a floral compliment and spiced backer. Nicely done, this will be an annual tradition. mcmd (144), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 22, 2009 2007 bomber into a snifter. Pours a deep amber with one finger off white head which settles to the rim. Smells is all malty caramel and sweat bread, cinnamon rolls maybe. Taste is similar - sweet malt, caramel, butterscotch, dough. Finish is very smooth, and alcohol well hidden which likely speaks to its age. Great beer, recommend putting it back.

Floral malt aroma. Golden bronze coloured very rich on the palate and strong in alcohol with a crisp bitter and dry malt finish. BOLTZ7555 (1100), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 18, 2009 Golden tangerine pour with lots of hoppiness and iced tea, accompanied by caramel and saccharin. This is Alabama sweet tea with a kick...not a bad beer just lacks complexity and would have a hard time drinking this regularly due to its syrupy nature. Meh. thirdeye11 (553), Texas, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Pours a clear deep coppery orange/amber color with golden orange hues when held to a light source and a 1.5 finger frothy yellowish head. Decent retention, slowly fades into a lasting ring that leaves sporadic spots of lacing behind.
Toasted malty aroma with a lot of peppery spice, slight alcohol sweetness and subtle hops. Hints of roasted caramel and biscuit malt as well as some cinnamon, clove and brown sugar.
Medium bodied and the flavor is very similar to the aroma with lots of toasty caramel and biscuit malt and prominent spice character. Lots of cinnamon and brown sugar with subtle hops in the dry finish. Subtle pumpkin and alcohol notes. ABV is very well masked, making The Kaiser extremely quaffable. Very good.
