| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 9, 2007 Bottled sample via my friend Trevor. Copper in colour with low carbonation. Aromas of plums, mild citrus, rich and malty caramel, banana bread, and a bit of alcohol. Solid toffee flavors, with notes of cinnamon (and various other spices), stone fruit and a bit of minerals. Starts off fairly heavy bodied, but has a mildy bitter finish that balances things out. Good stuff. moejuck (1165), Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 9, 2007 Spices, some heat, and grain in the aroma. Pours ruby red and brown with a thin off-white head. The palate is full and chewy. Warm malts and seasonal spices dominate the flavor profile--just a hint of clove. Interesting flavors--and enjoyable. Zeswaft (1000), Seattle, Washington, USA
