Perhaps a touch oxidized in aroma, strange spices also. Fairly smooth, alcohol is very much in the background. Some ginger flavors. Nice. flemdawg (485), Naples, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 25, 2005 Reddish orange color with an off white head.

Pours a dark amber with a nice off-white head with good retention. Flavor is caramel and wood with a light hop finish. Thanks to Eyedrinkale. Vac (2389), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 3, 2005 This brew pours with a clear amber body topped by a medium thick head with great lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet and malty with nice caramel notes and great hoppy notes, as well as, alcohol esters. The flavor is bitter and hoppy with a slight sweetness, a touch of caramel and a little alcohol. Full bodied and smooth. Sickboy282 (1098), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 2, 2005 Pours a golden orange hue with a halo of a head. Aromas of spice, honey, roasted malt with flavors of the same. This bottle was about 3 years old, so they say, and the alcohol was barley noticable. 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2004 Bottle pours brownish amber, large foamy sand colored head, sticky lacing, with lively carbonation. Sweet Gingersnap like aroma, somewhat malty, gives off either an American Strong Ale or Barleywine like aroma as well. Fairly strong ginger taste up front, subtle hops, sweet malts, slight caramel, feels somewhat heavy. Strong body, medium mouthfeel. Finishes with a bit more of a hop bitterness than the start, and maybe some pine. Interesting that it smelled and somewhat tasted like Gingersnaps. Unique, and quite tasty. Thanks goes out to Eyedrinkale for the trade!
