| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 23, 2009 The aroma is almost all malt, but in a good way. Some caramel and a bit of wood. Super smooth drinking. Nice amber red color. Hops are spruce and resiny. Very nice. Quite a bit more bitter than I was expecting. There is a taste of just ripe pear and some oak. The finish is nice and long. Alcohol is nicely warming. A very drinkable beer that I’ll be returning to. bhensonb (4257), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber with a creamy light tan head. Aromas of brownly roasted caramel and light floral hop. Medium body with sharp, near creamy carbonation. Not all that hoppy. More malty. Finishes with a touch of lightly cooked fruit. Dryish, but not very bitter. A bit of wood seems to come forth. stouby (1937), Holbaek, Denmark

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 5, 2009 500 ml. bottle. Pours a medium off white head, which collapses to a thin layer, with moderate lacing, over a clear coppery (SRM 15) body.....nose of malts with some toffee, caramel, bit of cereal, minimal hop floral.....taste mild sweet malts to start, with rich grain flavors, finishing with mild lingering hop bitterness.....mouth feel is thick and chewy, carbonation makes for a creamy brew. This meets its style very well, and is quite good. dchmela (1430), Orlando, Florida, USA
