| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Feb 24, 2008 Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty earthy caramel malts and with a touch of noble hops and light fruity tartness. Body starts lightly sweet with a lot of unexpected citric tartness before a drier grainy earthy acidity. This is a bad infection issues going on here. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA

Smells of caramel, roses, biscuits, some sugary hints. Tastes like candy with a tarte finish. Tmoney99 (4744), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 4, 2006 Draft at Mecklenburg Garden. Clear dark amber with an average fizzy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sweet malty and spice aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations were not met due to sweetness. Dogbrick (2855), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 21, 2003 On draught at Mecklenburg Gardens. Pours a rish dark amber color with a thin off-white head. Little to no lacing evident. The aroma is a fair amount of hops in tandem with a malty aspect. Medium bodied, and the flavor veers between the malt and hops, with a sweet caramel undertone. The finish is a little hoppy as well. Very easy drinking and complemented my bratwurst nicely. Suttree (2732), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 15, 2006 Shiny copper, with a thin beige head. Huge caramel / toffee / brown sugar aroma, and a pleasent toasty, caramel flavor. Notes of honey, molasses as well. Sampled at Knoxville Brewer’s Jam, 2006. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Sep 23, 2006 On tap at Barley’s Smokehouse in Columbus - Pours copper in color with a very short creamy offwhite head. Aromas of light caramel and not much else. Flavor is light caramel, dough, grains, and light hops on the finish. Palate is quite watery and without carbonation... I think the palate was this beers biggest drawback..
