| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 8, 2007 Dark, reddish brown appearance with a small tan head and modest lacing. Malty, fruity aroma with layers of cherry, banana and blackberries. Sweet malt taste with hints of caramel, dark fruit, molassas and multigrain bread. Hops are indistinguishable. Long lasting, sweet finish. jrob21 (1271), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 1, 2006 I’m missing the floral aromas. I get more roasted malt and wheat smells. Pours a deep brown color with a never ending tan head. Tastes dry and slightly alcoholic. Grainy tastes as well with a slightly fruity finish. Fruits remind me of plums and cherries. Some chocolate and toffee tastes as well. heykevin (1269), Iowa City, Iowa, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 1, 2006 Deep ruby. Spicy wheat-prune-banana nose, a little hint of fresh cowshit, which is actually better than it sounds. Spicy clove and cinnamon flavor, thick and chewy. Some considerable alcohol, thick and malty, sweet alcoholic finish, warming. Solid, if unspectacular big beer from Avery. MI2CA (1266), Noblesville, Indiana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 11, 2006 22oz - Aroma of chewy fresh malts, molasses and hops. Pours ruby red with a big fluffy head and great lacing. Flavor is much stronger than the aroma. First molasses, toffee, and black licorice. Then alcohol. Finished by toasted malts and the lingering remains of the "first" flavors. Palate is snappy, sticky and a bit hot. Interesting and tasty. I think I should set one in the cellar to mellow the hotness. luckygirl (1221), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 15, 2006 Congratulations, Avery! Thirteen is earthy, warm and rich yet still highly drinkable—until it swipes your knees out from underneath you. :) Beer is a nearly opaque, dark warm brown with an average-sized, frothy, beige, mostly lasting head. The aroma is malty with a moderate notes of toasted nuts, roasted grain and caramel, trace chocolate; Hoppy with a moderate note of herb, light note of resin/pine; Yeasty with a moderate note of dough, light note of basement; Miscellaneous notes of moderate alcohol, trace underripe banana/bubble gum, and a faint trace of damp garden soil. The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic and lightly bitter with a long, very warm, lightly acidic, lightly sweet, light-to-moderately bitter finish. The body is medium-to-full, the texture is velvety and the carbonation is average. jimmack (1221), Nutley, New Jersey, USA

Aroma of chocolate malts, banana, dark fruits and alcohol. Mildly sweet malt flavor with a strong alcohol presence. Some banana, cloves and dark fruits in there as well. I usually like Avery’s big beers but this one just didn’t do it for me. footbalm (1218), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 24, 2006 From the Blue Max. So I guess that this was better warmed up a bit and I enjoyed a amber brew with a candy aroma with what seemed like a bit of earthy notes but sweeter that I was thinking it might be.
