| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 16, 2009 Fine mouth feel - sweet and sour, lots of burned sugar. Mellow malt. It looks like it could do with a hops injection. ucusty (1900), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Updated: Jul 12, 2009Thanks to Markwise for the bottle! Dark brown pour with a slight haze. Fluffy tan head and rings of lace. Light coffee, toast, and woody notes. Finish is dominated by dark fruit, caramel, and big toffee notes. Not quite as peaty or as earthy as I would have liked for the style. ketchepillar (482), Viña del Mar, Chile
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Huge thanks to pepsican, badbeer, and iowaherkeye. Definitely CC-same yeast strain characteristics for sure-muted must. I guess it’s mostly a scotch ale. Some nice wood. Nice carbonation. Nutty. Fairly sweet. bdigital (590), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 13, 2009 Bottle: Thanks to TampaBrew for this...pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Nose is massive with notes of toffee, cherries, pipe tobacco and brown sugar. The thing that really sets this apart is the fullness of the body...flavors are big on the toffee and caramel malts with some dark fruits complimenting the maltiness. Great brew! tjthresh (1778), Greenfield, Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 12, 2009 Thanks Josh. Pours clear brown with just a touch of tan head. Both the nose and flavor seem to feature a dry malty toffee character with an underlying smokiness. There’s a nice dry toasted finish. dogfish120love (275), west hartford, Connecticut, USA

Smooth and malty with a lot of subtle flavors, it’s best to let this one open up a bit before drinking it. Very nice brew. beerbill (1968), Laurel, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 7, 2009 750 ml bottle shared at PilsnerPeter’s Spring Gathering. Pours a very dark brown with a bubbly, luscious brown head. Very pleasant aroma of brown sugar, sweet malt, and peat. The flavor is malty with less brown sugar than the aroma along with a bit of peat. Fairly smooth on the palate.
