| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 25, 2007 On tap at Derrick Tavern. Pours a light amber color with a rather large creamy head. The aroma is very malty with caramel and honey. Good lacing on the glass. The taste is caramel with a bitter dry finish. I enjoyed this one. pledgco (2), Pennsylvania, USA does not count | 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 24, 2007 Quickly becoming one of my "go to" beers- great creaminess & head. Grab one from the tap where available.
The "pub can" offers a nice pour that holds up as well.
Great if you like Guiness texture, but a lighter fare. panopticon (2), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA does not count | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 23, 2007 Easily available and goes down very smooth. Not aggressive, and reminds me of chocolate for some reason. Pours a dark golden with a healthy white head. Definitely a repeat purchase for me -- considering the availability and price, this is a great beer. VacaBeerDude (19), Vacaville, California, USA
| 0.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Dec 22, 2007 I found this ale to be very disappointing. Color was quite dull, average head. Taste was biting at first with a finish that was far less that appealing. All in all, not an ale that I could recommend. Angeloregon (2025), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 22, 2007 From the pub can--Poured a light golden copper hue with a large white head and lush lacing. Slightly metallic hoppy flavor. Light, creamy mouth feel. Finished smooth and very mildly spicy. Nice session beer. llcooldave (337), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 21, 2007 Pours a clear golden/copper color. Lightly carbonated with a nice head and descent lacing. Definitely has a slightly bitter taste to it, but rather clean. Malty/nutty aroma. Not bad... ratfusion (5), USA does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 21, 2007 For what it is, I think its fantastic, and a pleasure to drink. A fantastic session ale, and easy to get people who aren’t usually beer people to enjoy. gam (1116), brisbane, Australia
