| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 2, 2005 Bottled. Nut brown. Appley malt aroma. The gernerous malt character has notes of butter and fruit. A low hop rate makes the malt flavours dominant. The mouthfeel is somewhat raw and syrupy. A solid beer that lacks the final touch. pantani (1902), Salinas, California, USA

Flavor is all kinds of malt: roasted, toasted burnt, you name it. A bit of a sweet but mild alcohol kick; exactly what I wanted to see in an ale like this. Well done. Finish is dry and nutty. flutetokill (515), Fresno, California, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 31, 2005 Beautiful glowing ruby color with a large, frothy off-white head. The aroma was filled with caramel, slight smoke, peat, and a gentle sourness (not bad.) The flavor was much of the same...sweet, with a definite roasty/smokey/nutty character. The feel was creamy, slightly crisp, coating, kinda thick...wet finish. Nice.
