| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 22, 2005 Poured a light amber pink clear color with lots and lots of bubbles and a small amount of white head. Looks to me like a glass of raspberry 7up. Aroma is very fruity, kinda a mix of raspberry and pears and some burbony alcohol undertones. Flavor is very acidicy and fruity with a whole bunch of alcohol punch. Almost tastes like cough medicine in a weird way. Brings back bad childhood nyquil memories. Overall, started decent, but couldnt get past nyquil stuff. Ughsmash (3999), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 20, 2005 Bottle. Clear medium amber pour with just a hint of red to it. Thin layer of beige head. Strong aroma of freshly cut wheat, pears, plums, toffee, and a hint of brandy. First impression in the mouth is heavy, malty, boozy sweetness. More big hits of dark fruit and alcohol followed. This became thicker and more cloying as it wamed. Not the most complex brew, but was definitely palatable and warming. beeranarchist (185), Aalborg, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 16, 2005 Updated: Nov 28, 2005Nice red-brown colour, white head. Aromaes is alcohol, sweetness and riped fruits. Taste is sweet, maybe to sweet. Good as winterwarmer. wxman (585), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 13, 2005 Sweet aroma of malty brandy (if there is such a thing) and alcohol. Appearance is clear amber with a thin white head. Taste is cloyingly sweet caramel maltiness with alcohol really up front and throughout. Brandylike warmth follows along with malt sweetness. Not very complex, but not bad either considering the 11% ABV. One of these once in a while is enough. restless7 (104), Lenexa, Kansas, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Oct 4, 2005 At first I thought "Nice color, aroma not my favorite but not bad". The longer I drank it the worse it got. I’ve had beers with higher alcohol content which tasted much better than this. I am not a fan of bitter beers in general and this was no exception. bipolarbear (6), Paterson, New Jersey, USA does not count | 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2005 Pours almost like the color of ice tea. Head quickly dissipates. Very watery mouthfeel. I mean like water . I reckoned this beer would be more velvety. Obvious taste of alcohol. Lingers after you swallow and warms your mouth. NICE!! Sweet, but dominated by alcohol. thegreenrooster (1818), St.louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 25, 2005 Pour is a dark orange with a white head Aroma is lots of caramel and brown sugar. Lots of brown sugar in the flavor so much so it takes over the flavor. overall its ok. try an drink it on an empty belly.,as it is very heavy. KAggie97 (2420), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 22, 2005 Bottle, pre-Rita festivities. Pours a beautiful golden brown, with glorious lacing. Aroma is alcohol, molasses, raisin, and toffee. Flavor is a sweet ass-kicking of alcohol, sugar, toffee, and cotton candy. Wonderfully coating palate soothes the tongue. Great beer.
