| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 11, 2009 Pours semi-clear brown with deep burgundy hues with large quickly receding off-white head. Nose is just a huge hit of yeast, and almost a rice laden lager like feel to it, with a bit of malty sweetness. Medium-Light bodied, very sweet with a slightly warming finish. There are some subtle flavors if your looking for them of caramel, and some bitter hops. WisconsinBeer (532), St Paul, Minnesota, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Sampled on draught, this brewe poured a semi-dark reddish copper colour with a two finger sized off white head. Caramel, plum, some other kind of dark fruits on the nose. Caramel flavours midplat makes this beer pretty rich. Carries a noticeable alcohol fume in the aroma. foundmd (163), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 8, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours dark ruby with a tan head. Aroma of sweet malts and dark fruit. The taste is dominated by the sweetness of caramel, molasses, and fruit. Palate is smooth and medium bodied with a subtle alcohol finish. The hops are hardly detectable, which ends up making this one a little too sweet. CheersMate1 (863), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 4, 2009 Lager aroma. Very much a malty aroma. Buttery aroma. Nice pungent aroma.Not really much of a head, but has a nice ruby color to it. Looks and smells great. Really sweet and fruity flavor. Unexpected flavor. Yeast, sweet, cough syrup type flavor. I don’t know this is great, but I think the malts are just overpowering this think like crazy. Again, very sweet, and just a huge malt presence. The malts just dominate, and this beer is a must to try, but again expect the sweet malty taste/aroma. flatmatt (230), Northville, Michigan, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 4, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours clear red with a light tan head. Aroma is primarily of earthy minerals, with some dark fruit and a touch of coffee ground behind them. Flavor is a smooth, sweet caramel with chewy dark fruits and nuts. Hints of coffee and earthiness, with a bit of alcohol in the finish. Nice flavor, but the aroma puts me off a bit at first.
