| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 30, 2009 Looks and acts like a quality ale. Bitter but not overpowering. Good contrast creates a beer that is full but is still malty and mellow at the same time.

Be that as it may ,its a bottle conditioned beer that I dig ,even if it lacks street creed. Basicaly its a rich,powerful malt driven beer. You get interesting flavours poping out of the glass , like burnt toast and nuttiness -with chocolate ,all wraped up in a syrupy palate. Floral in there .Always a good’un. kiwibt (51), , New Zealand

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jan 5, 2009 could just be the style of beer, but I was dissappointed in this one. subtle aroma of spiciness and some hops. nice copper colour. Taste really didn’t do much for me (again it could just be the style that doesn’t appeal to me) I found it to be uneventful overall, some spiciness and hoppiness in the taste with some bitterness in the finish. May retry in future french tickler (642), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada

Aromas of bubble gum, caramel, indian pepper, alcohol, sel de celeri with creamy hints. Strong hoppy bitter mouthfeel - longlasting. Cask flavors, hints of nutmeg and pine. Very good overall.
