| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 23, 2004 (on bottle)There´s no doubt in this being a good beer. I just had one and the aroma is very heavy of alcohol, almonds(don´t know if that´s alwys a good thing in a beer) and real cask. In fact, it´s the first bottled beer i´ve, that can be up there with the casks. very full maltyness in the mouth and a strong alcohol kick in the end. Much alcoholpercentage for an ale at 6,3. The finish IS bitter, but there´s also traces of tabacco I should say. obxdude10 (1563), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark, semi translucent amber color with nice semi thick head with good retention. Aroma of dark roast, hops, with very slight floral, slight apple. Flavow VERY nice. Strong roast malt and maple flavor with great balanced hop bitterness to off set sweetness, and almost taste as if it was in a bourbon oak cask, but it says bottle conditioned on the label, I swear I taste wood tannins though with slight bourbon.. has slight alcohole spiceMedium carbonation with medium-full body. Great beer!, one to enjoy. DSG (1515), Tel Aviv, Israel

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 18, 2005 Beautiful clear mahogany with a thick beige head. Aroma of caramel, butterscotch, toffee, dark fruits, apple, bread and alcohol. The flavor offers more of the same along with toasted malt, molasses, spiciness, a big dose of bitter hops, raisins and plums. Bitter hoppy aftertaste with a slightly burnt tinge. Very full, round and creamy on the palate with lively carbonation. Great lacing and AWESOME, thick head retention. Great stuff.
