| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Nov 1, 2008 Tasted 30/10/2008, 500ml bottle from Regionals, while tending to the pilot batch of Yeastie Boys ’Kid Chocolate’. Pours a hazy amber with a reddish hue. Sweet plummy stewed (oxidised) malt on the nose with a little floral ester and herbal/lemon hops. Same in the mouth, with a good malt depth and a nice balancing bitterness and full hop flavour. Suspect this would be a bloody lovely drop closer to home but it’s dropped off to a nice wee quaffer this far away... Hooker (450), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 27, 2008 The was $4.45 for the bottle at the Northcoast Coop in Arcata, CA.. IT poured a hazy amber to brown color with not much head and lacing. Aroma of malts and ripe fruti. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor shows some hops with a little bitterness, which also shows in the finish. This is quite drinkable but not in the least remarkable. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 12, 2008 Murky brown pour with one finger white head. Aroma is of sweet caramel malt, toasty biscuit, and grassy hops. Flavor is sweet with caramel with a bit of acidity. Hop bitterness is present, but barely. Palate is smooth, but horribly thin. Carbonation is minimal. Nothing special here... Crit (2401), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 10, 2008 From the comments in the store I thought this would be great, but it was actually disappointing. Amber, small beige head.
Very sweet and musty malt nose. Starts sweet, unpleasant astringent mid, mild lasting hop bitterness in finish which somehow isn’t quite right.
