| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 26, 2008 Pours a clear amber color with a small fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. A rich caramel aroma that has some sweet apple and over ripe banana in it. A sort of stale toffee / molasses flavor with fruit like nectarines and apples. A solid bitter dry finish. Has an outstanding creamy mouthfeel that owes a lot ot the carbonation. DenverLogan (421), MileHi, Colorado, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 22, 2008 AWESOME. love this beer. great for sessions or for sipping. for 3.9% this beer packs a great flavor that is simple enough for anyone to enjoy, yet complex enough for beer snobs to find very satisfying. if poured correctly, the head is super creamy, rich and thick like boddington but more so. not much aroma, but i can detect some light fruitiness and maltiness. flavor is refreshing and very smooth. tart, nutty, and slightly malty with a kick ass finish that has a lingering alcohol sweetness. very well balanced. love love love this beer would have again anytime :) rmussman (905), California, USA

A very well crafted brew that is smooth, has a sweet aftertaste and well worth the $4. dutch23mp (167), Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA

The bitters typical of an Ale are pronounced yet suttle. Good marks for a good beer. I had this as BOM club nad bought it again. GG (1654), NorCal, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 18, 2008 Another fine beer from Belhaven. A nice nose of toffee, light caramel, with a bit of nuttiness to it. Appearance is a dark brown, cloudy with a nice 1/2" thick head. Flavor is smokey/peaty malts, sweet malts with a touch of brown sugar. Easy to drink and easy to enjoy. Always a nice go-to beer. BarossaLuke (105), Australia
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 15, 2008 Draught can version. Has a rich buttery, fruity nose with a nice level of peat malt aroma. Thick foamy head courtesy of the nitro and some sediment, not sure if this is normal or not. Caramel and some toffee in the mouth, a very pleasant beer to drink.
