| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 26, 2007 Darker reddish brown, moderate creamy head, good lacing and retention. Aroma is caramel, toffee, darker fruits, earth. Fairly heavy body, sticky and syrupy. Sweet finish, but not overly so. Enjoyable. TheEpeeist (1492), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 21, 2007 22 oz bottle. Dark, but clear, russet with a dusting of tan foam. Aroma is a mix of raisin, apricot, caramel and orange. Starts like a stout with notes of coffee, portobello and tobacco. A bittersweet chocolate bite ushers in plum and tart blackberry. Tails off with smoky molasses. Nice coating mouthfeel with fine carb. JohnnyJ (1353), Carlsbad, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 17, 2007 Pours a dark reddish brown with creamy tan head. Aroma of hops, sweet malt, chocolate, dark fruit, molasses, and citrus. Very well balanced flavor of hops and malt. Fruit and chocolate notes. Nice medium to thick, silky mouthfeel. Good beer! robertjm (414), El Cerrito, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 16, 2007 White foamy head. Not the heaviest of heads, but still there. Cloudy brown in color. Light hops in the aroma. Wonderful flavor with lots of hops mixed with malt. Heavy mouth feel. Slight warming on the back of the throat in the aftertaste. Not something I’d consume glass after glass of, but it’d be a great beer on a cold Winter’s night!! DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 9, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. Burnt umber pour with 2-fingers of khaki head. Aroma is hoppy, with Munichy dark scotchy malt, peppercorns, mango, canteloupe, and tangerine. Tastes hoppy, with a lot of dark malt presence, plus some warming plum/prune/merlot flavors, and even a slight bourbony flavor late. Very well hidden alcohol, with a complex, hoppy, fruity palate that is rather hefty without being cloying. Another great beer from CA. I wouldn’t say I’m triply exulted, but I’m definitely doubly exulted after this one. Lumpy (1802), Carrollton, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 7, 2007 Bottle. Body-dark tawny brown with a thin film of bubbles and a thin ring of bubbles. Taste-tannic, bark, light molasses, pecan shells, medium acrid bitterness, slightly cloying, roasty. Very good and drinkable. performula (147), Triangle Area, North Carolina, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 29, 2007 Picked this up thinking nothing. What a great blind pick. A bang for your buck at $5-6. Dark Red, lots of carbonation. Fruity, roasted, and maybe oatmeal? The texture on this beer is amazing, a stew/flour feel. hopdog (5620), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
