| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 24, 2005 It was a rather nice drink, if I may say so. Poured a hearty rusty amber body and a full and creamy head. The aroma and flavor were rather sweet and malty. Notes of caramel, and toffee malt, mildly toasty, somewhat bready, and evenly hopped... which was apparent in a hint of lemon zest in the finish. Nothing oh so complex… but a nice all-around drink.

Fruity nose, grapes, cherries, berries, raisiny, sweetness, with a roasty appeal as well, putting me in mind of brandy, or port wine.
Bold on the palate, a full flush of flavor, very tasty, full of hops on the fore, and malt all the way through. Is this supposed to be a doppelbock? Not bad, whether it is or isn’t. Nice zing in the taste, medium to ful bodied, tingly and tasty, though it drops off a bit too early, would be better if had a bit more heft.
Pretty nice, as it is, though...yeah, I’ll take another...

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 20, 2004 Bottle. Dark amber red with big head. Aroma is spicy and fruity. A bit citrusy with sourness in the finish. sayravai (3752), Helsinki, Finland
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 12, 2004 (Bottled) Nice, hazy orangeish red color with medium, tight, but mostly vanishing head. Mild, toffee-sweetish aroma with yeast. Sweet, fruity and toffee-syrupy flavor. Very smooth, medium to full-bodied, quite low-carbonated palate. Quite easily drinkable, despite the sweetness. A nice dessert drink - like a water-blended, toned-down version of Silly Scotch. NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 6, 2006 Aoma holds sweet malts that invoke raisin and fruit cake. Opaque dark amber in color with a quickly dimishing light tan head. Fore is malty sweet with dark fruit notes, mild caramel and a light not quite tartness that puncuates the malt nicely. Smooth and subtle. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 11, 2007 Reddish brown, moderate head, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is grassy hops with notes of caramel and some darker fruits. Soft mouthfeel, very well balanced and enjoyable. May not have big flavors, but everything here is put together really well.
