| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 21, 2005 Bottle. Mahogony beer with a light beige head. Spicey aroma with some hops. Spicey flavor with some caramel and roasty malts and resiny/citrus hops. Nicely balanced - though some may put it a bit on the hoppy side. dwyerpg (2545), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

The caramel is there and you acan definitely feel the hops on the end of your tongue. It has a nut brown feeling to it to, but in a good way. acertain (249), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 14, 2005 No head, but dark. Not much aroma from the glass, and a little thin on the palate. Balanced flavor, though. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 13, 2005 Bottle. Pours a deep reddish amber with a very decent off-white head. A good amount of malt, with some hops. At first, I was not too fond of this do tom the flavors the deep roasting leaves behind. However, as I continued to sip and the beer warmed, I began to enjoy it and the caramel become more enjoyable. A very nice Winter. ratman197 (3250), Arvada, Colorado, USA
