| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 22, 2009 Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet doughy caramel malts and a touch of light fruit. Starts fairly full and sweet with some light carbonation and some mild bittering hop presence before a thinner, weaker finish. Could use more body and complexity, but still has good drinkability. JoeMcPhee (5010), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 2, 2006 Tap at Barcade. Deep amber/orange colour with a creamy white head. Aroma is quite sweet and earthy, a dusty/dank sweaty aroma that isn’t entirely unpleasant. Warming brings forth some diacetyl which IS decidedly unpleasant. Mixed with the dark sweet malts it gives the impressio of butterscotch ripple ice cream, which just isn’t what I’m in the mood for. Some dark toasted malt flavour as well as some noble hop spiciness but it just has too many flaws to recommend. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA

Nose is caramel malt, toffee, hops, nuts. Tastes malty, with nuts, hops, slight spicy and peaty notes, and a rich smooth, complex palate. Give me this any time.
