| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 28, 2008 This one is not as good as the others, the bitterness is unpleasant and their is a soy sauce like saltiness to it. Not my favorite JCB (1796), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 27, 2008 750 from Carytown Wine and Beer, Richmond (RIP). Clear amber pour, with not a whole lot of carbonation going on. Overriding sweet malts in the aroma, lacking much in the way of spice notes or anything particularly complex. A tad boozy at the start, though there are elements of yeast and some pepper in there to give some depth to the brew. Slick malty finish, makes this an average strong ale. mulletman69 (13), USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 23, 2008 Bottled: thanks Cwis. Pours a heavy ruby color with a off white head. Smells of grape and it tastes of plum and grape that ends sweet, that finish with a hint of bitterness. OK beer. Collint (465), Sylva, North Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 23, 2008 Pint bottle pours a dark brown amber with a thin wheite head. Aroma is sweet along with the flavor. Very yeasty and sweet fruit. Good carbonation and a bitter dry finish. mike5203 (33), Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Aug 22, 2008 Pours dark and bubbly, with a nice head, aroma is malty and sweet. The flavor is complex and changes in the mouth. It’s OK but again I would not go out of my way to get it again pik5el (51), Pasadena, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 21, 2008 Aroma: subtle but pleasant, plums, grape, currant
Appearance: nice head, leaves little lacing, color like black tea
Flavor: all kinds of things happening, sweet and bready with underlying fruitiness. dark fruits and dried stuff. lingering yeastiness.
Palate: meh. i don’t know that the flavor is accentuated that well by the carbonation. while within style guidelines, it just doesnt do anything for me. not a real strong alco burn though, that gets points. BuckyBazoo (23), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 19, 2008 Very smooth and dark in color. Fruity undertone with creamy finish. Poured dark with a mid size head. Great all around brew!
