| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy, deep amber/light brown with an off-white head. Aroma is hops at first, but soon develops malty notes which take over. Faint notes of plastic and coffee (!) at first as well, but disappears as it warms. Flavour is malty with a hoppy bitterness in the background. Notes of bread. Metallic and fruity notes as it warms. Malty and bitter finish with notes of roasted sunflower seeds which fade as it warms however, giving way for notes of apple. Crackers as well, I believe. Not bad, but nothing special. Could use more on the hop side. 23-10-08. Allen (1335), Switzerland

Some walnuts showing up. The alcohol is rather pleasant. Wonderful finish with a hint of smoke, aniseed and heather. A great beer. mcsquint (93), , Missouri, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Poured from bottle, this ale has a deep amber color with large offwhite head that lasts quite a while. Excellent lacing all the way down the glass. Aroma of malt with dried apricots and figs. Tastes of malt and dried fruit with a somewhat floral hops taste. Nice dry finish. Full, rich mouthfeel. Bottle conditioning makes the carbonation nearly perfect. The 6.3% ABV doesn’t hurt either! Rciesla (3565), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
