| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 17, 2004 Moderately hazed, reddish brown appearance, decent head formation. Malty, burnt fruit cake aroma. Sweet treacle palate, somewhat oversweet. Bready, fruitcake, slightly charred scones. Well balanced bitter bite in the finish. Found this something of a pleasant surprise, good richness in flavor, sweet for sure but balances out well. AleDrinker (1090), Sunnyvale, California, USA
