| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Brilliant deep copper/red color with a tight tan head. caramel malt aroma with floral hops and light roast. Rich, smooth mouthfeel. Mild floral hop flavors with caramel and light pit fruits. Nicely bitter finish. foundmd (163), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 14, 2009 #100. On cask at Dilly Deli. The Dilly’s beer man, Peanut, ordered this special cask version with an additional pound and a half of Cascade hops. Dark amber color with a small head. Aroma of sweet malts with a distinct, almost unpleasant, yeasty smell. Initial flavor is sweet carmel malts with maple and some fruit. The finish is dry hop bitterness, presumably stronger than others have noted due to the additional hops. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Certainly not a near-perfect beer, but one of Cincinnati’s best and most unique brews. MAP (1089), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Mar 7, 2009 Bottle purchased at Rozi’s in Lakewood. Seriously, wtf is that smell? IT is kinda beery- kinda waxy- and reminds me of this godawful liquor call Pitu... Seriously, this just smells weird. No aromatic hop sweetness, just a little weird ass earthy notes. The pour was attractive, dark copper color with a huge white foamy head that went away quickly. Flavor is...wait, what flavor? Seriously, I just had a Brooklyn Monster Ale and the flavor from that one still is better than this one. I feel kinda bad, I like Cincinnati- I used to live there- but dear god thank god there are better brews coming out of Ohio. This $5 spot would have been better spent on a double bastard.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 4, 2009 Darker amber color with a malty aroma that features somd heavy sugar and mild citrus hops. Flavor has some citrus hops and sugary/cereal-ish malts but is unimpressive. Needs to be more balanced to be good. nathan30533 (154), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 24, 2009 Pours a wonderful dark amber/brown with a white head. Mell is sweet and taste overall too. Floating yeast and overall smoothness make this "Boss Brew" an overall winner. nuplastikk (1206), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jan 4, 2009 22oz bottle bought in Kentucky. This is a style that I’d think more prevalent, but I suppose it is a tad oxymoronic. Unassuming, non-aroma. Dark, cloudy brown amber color. The taste is quite mellow for the ABV, with the dark malt complementing the alcohol and hops quite well. Some chocolate toffee notes. Not overly aggressive with the hops, the dry hopping seems to add just the right balance. Great beer, recommended. ericandersnavy (1128), crossroads, Texas, USA
