Malty aroma with some toast and caramel notes as well as nutty hints. Sweetish malty flavor with caramel, toasted bread, some light fruitiness and light buttery hints. Medium-bodied. Nothing exciting, but OK. jasonp (1514), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours an attractive light copper with a frothy white head. Nose of rich caramel toastiness and noble hops. Notes of toffee, bread, toasty rich maltiness followed by balancing herbal, earthy hop character. The takeaway is pleasant, non-cloying malty sweetness. Very satisfying. Body is medium full, with soft carbonation. Great o-fest. 17thfloor (1513), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Nice spicy malt aroma, light caramel and a good amount of hay. Medium bodied with weak flat carbonation. Flavors are quite balanced, lightly rich caramel malt with some spicy grassy hops.
[8 / 4 / 8 / 3 / 16 ]Pours caramel/amber with a large foamy off-white head. Lovely spicy, caramel malt, and floral hop aroma. Really smooth barley-wine like caramel malts, warm and honey sweet, the hops really sit nicely behind the malt. Nice full/medium mouthful and gently carbonated. Cavie (1509), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 4, 2009 Tried on tap at Ginger man. I didn’t have very strong feelings either way on this one. dmac (1507), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 27, 2007 500 ml bottle purchased at Monaghans. Poured an orange/amber with an initial large white head that settled into a thin layer that remained for most of the beer. Sweet malty aroma which reminded me off a mixture of chewy candy...caramel, toffee, butterscotch, molases. Body was a little to thin and the carbonation could of used some bulking up. Initial fruity flavor that is quickly taken over by a smokey maltiness. I was expecting more from this since it is rated rather high. Strykzone (1505), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 17, 2008 A clear golden pour with plenty of visible carbonation. Head is light orange. Half of it dissipates quickly and noisily but the rest remains for a few minutes. A fruity and spicy aroma that also offers pumpkin. Flavor is subtle with nutmeg, toffee, honey, pumpkin, and light floral hop. It is on the sweet side. Well carbonated up front but that fads mid glass. Subtle flavors but plenty of them make for an enjoyable glass on a cool October day. shadey (1501), Rochester, New York, USA
