| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 26, 2006 Dark pour that is not quite black, with a thick cream colored head. Berries and chocolate nose with a bit of dust. Tangy oatmeal, caramel, chocolate milk mix, nutmeg, a bit of banana flavor. Finish is dry with a noticeable alcohol bite., oh yeah, 9.5% that explains that I guess. Port like flavors. Not a bad beer.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 2, 2007 22 oz. bottle from Beverage House (Tucson) - Pours a brown color with a two finger thick light tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is full of esters. Flavor is lightly spiced and fruity. Also some dry caramel malt flavor comes through. Medium body and slightly bitter. A good beer. lethe (168), Stony Brook by way of Cincinnati, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 2, 2006 Deep brown pour that turns crimson to light. Nose is muddled, sticky sweet then roast, I became confused. Heavy, full body has a nice touch to it. Flavor is much more than the aroma with a nice weizen quality (yeasty, dry, appetizing) up front, followed by a rich bock barrage of sweet chocolate and caramel. This has a nice depth and dimension to its flavors before it succumbs to its nemesis. Alcohol. A strong, astringent alcohol presence suffocates what this brew had acheived. Less than the sum of its parts, Avery took a shot and failed admirably. MPA (512), Nørrebro(formerly Aalborg), Denmark

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 21, 2007 Good gravy, this is one malt-tastic beer. Deep brown body with a modest, fairly frothy head. The wheats really come through in a powerful way, and the chocolate breadiness makes this one chewy beer. It’s almost too much for me, impressive though I find the craft. Nice dry finish. Slight imbalance to me, but still a fine effort. Theis (3791), Denmark
