| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 22, 2006 Pours a hazy brown that you can’t even look through, there is a light brown head which is thin as well. This is loaded with a very strong sweet raisin aroma. Flavors of brown sugar and some toasty flavor that compliments the brightness of the carbonation. A little bit smokey.Some definite bitterness, but none of it lingers into the finish. Braudog (3782), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Oct 1, 2006 Draft in the logo tulip at Bilbo Baggins, Alexandria VA. Black like oil with light little bubbles along the glass rising to a tan foam. Pretty ligiht body and very bare flavors ... glimmers of smoke, espresso, chocolate malt, effortlessly seamed together. Quality brew. KUEric (632), Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 24, 2006 Bottle : A good, not great beer. Very deep amber to ruby brown coloring. Aroma of earthy malts which coinsided with the mainstays of the flavor. Given its pushing 8% abv, I will say its masked well. oh6gdx (9109), Vasa, Finland
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 24, 2006 Bottled. Dark amberish ruby colour with huge beige head. Lacing. Aroma is caramel, citrusfruit malts and sugar. Slight alcoholic hints also. Flavour is yeast, hops, grass and some caramel. Felt kind of "watery" and empty while being cold, but once it got warmer it got very smooth and pleasant. Nekronos (2264), Xalapa, Mexico

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2006 Pours a dark brown with a thick white head. Aroma of vanilla and malt and a bit of yeast, very faint. Light sweet flavor of malt and fruit. A bit too light for this kind of beer. Alcohol is definitely present, more than expected. Balanced finish.
