| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 2, 2004 Beautiful caramel color, with some lacing. You can definitely smell the hops, more strongly than any malty notes in the nose. A wash of malt, then the hoppy flavors on the middle of the tongue, then serious espresso bitterness that lingers.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 21, 2004 A very red amber ale with short head, but great lacing. Caramel with hints of chocolate and espresso peeking in from time to time. Body is mostly creamy but also fizzy at times. Nice bitter finish. IPFreely (1470), Lewiston, New York, USA
