| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 6, 2007 Excellent strong ale rendition here. Nice brown/red color. Big malty caramel aroma and flavors are the first things I notice in this beer. Next the hops creep in and they are pretty potent too. A strong bitterness melds everything together nicely and provides cover for the alcohol and sugar. Good creamy mouthfeel. Excellent brew! joet (1705), Fulton, California, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Dec 26, 2001 Slight roasty malt aroma with a hint of peat. The taste is creamy with sweetness and a tobacco hue. The lack of nose is bothersome but forgivable.
