| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 24, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a huge, fluffy tan head. Nose is of raisin, oranges and dark malt. Taste is of roast malt and honey. Mouthfeel is medium with alcohol noticeable and lots of carbonation. Too much carbonation, actually. Not as good as Local 1, IMO. kramer (2465), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 23, 2009 25 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy brown body with a two finger frothy beige head that had great retention. The nose is sweet dark malts with a dark honey accent. Some light coffee, cola, and alcohol notes. Very sweet flavor with lots of honey, some orange rind, and nutty and lightly roasty malt. A good bit of yeast influence throughout. Finishes with a hearty alcohol kick. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy with lots of fizzy overactive carbonation. Warming alcohol burn down the throat. Overall, this is decently done, but it’s just not my thing. Too sweet and syrupy for me. deyholla (713), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
