Pours a deep muddy amber body with a very minimal head. Aroma and flavor are rich with malt, fruits & vegetables, plums, prunes, spiced Autumn apple cider, possibly even some butter nut squash. The palate is medium with a dry tart finish; I find many earthy notes such as that of cranberry sauce, yeah that’s right cranberry sauce is earthy!

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 22, 2003 Cloudy with thick head. Alcohol nose and taste--which I like in the creamier tripple. Hoppy finish with aftertaste of toast. Maybe it should have warmed a bit. Silphium (2137), Haslett, Michigan, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 19, 2003 I found this to be quite muddy and unrefined. Cloudy brown body with an off-white ring of foam clinging to the glass. Earthy aroma, with some alcohol in evidence. Flavor was hard to grasp- musty, murky bread, fairly dry, and with a bitter aftertaste. Medium-bodied. I had a hard time picking out individual flavors. My gestalt may detect less than the separate parts themselves! BBB63 (4229), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 16, 2003 First time brewed in three years. The nice copper hue as almost no head except ring around top which did produce some lace. Fruity, wheaty, grainy, and malty aroma. The taste starts malty sweet but a surprising hop grapefruit element shows to add a bitter and acadic balance to the brew. Crisp feel to the finish. The tastes never seemed to meld completely but aging may do this beer some good. JoeM500 (1876), Chicago (little italy), Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 10, 2003 Pretty much as described. Light mouthfeel, bubbly carbonation, bright red in color. Some fruity pale malt hints, but mostly a faint caramel flavor. Dry grassy finish. Decent. Wrath (362), Valparaiso, Indiana, USA
