| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 15, 2008 355ml bottle - - Hilpea Hauki, Helsinki
Sweet air-freshener and soft malt aromas. Soft carbonation. Thin sweetness, simple burntness and hoppiness, and a touch of sherbet. Tacky and unsophisticated. Some ginger there too, some raw hops, presumably Amarillo, but on the whole this is a bit of a mess. I wish american brewers would not make such bad attempts to mimic english beer styles. It is not an English Strong Ale, call it an American Messed-Up Ale instead, please. branspra (231), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a ruby color with a large, light brown head and a clear body. Aromas of roasted malts, pine, and wood. Thin body and texture on the mouthfeel, but long duration with heavy bitterness afterwards. I have had much better beers from Flying Dog.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2008 12oz bottle from VinensVerden, Odense. Pours clear copper/amber with a creamy small head on top. Nose is malty caramel/toffee - mostly sweet & inviting. Medium bodied. Taste has some dry bitterness which compliments the dark fruits & chewy maltyness well. Very drinkable! BustedFlat (554), Edina, Minnesota, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Moderate malty aroma. Huge, white head. Good lacing. Mostly lasting longevity. Clear, red brown body. Moderate sweet flavor. Medium palate. sayravai (3752), Helsinki, Finland
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 8, 2008 Bottled. Clear, darkish amber with a small, lightly lacy head. Aroma of british-style, nutty hops, and toffeeish malt. Toffee-malty flavor with dried fruit, grassy-nutty-aromatic hops, and faint cardboardy-vegetably hints. Medium, slightly thin body with a bit fizzy, lowish carbonation. A drinkable, but not very interesting brew. Thin for a winter ale, and slightly unclean.
