| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 7, 2006 A good beer, but nothing amazing. Pours a brown/red. Has a very standard beer aroma with some fruit and chocolate. Flavor of strong generic beer, dried fruit, and a little chocolate. Kind of a peppery taste with a good amount of bitterness.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 1, 2007 Orangish-brown and almost clear with a lacy beige cover. Toffee malt blends nicely with Goldings and some citrus in the aroma. Great malt flavor with a dried fruit finish. Dates and prunes. Good mouthfeel caps off this top-notch beer.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 28, 2003 Great big head, lovely color, somewhat dry, woody, spicy, citrus like in the bitterness. Been having a hard time finding it around here on the last search. Should I have stocked more bottles? Just afraid that they don't seem to cellar too long. When they get very old they tend to get "excitable" upon opening. kwoeltje (1333), Manchester, Missouri, USA

Hops and malt aroma with hint of alcohol (like a cognac) and dark fruits. Early roast barley/coffee quickly followed by strong hops, then a warm alcohol finish (again, like a cognac). biz82 (1328), austin, Texas, USA

Deep clear red color with a dense firm tan head. Intense flavors of toasted bread, burnt fruit, caramel with a tart finish and lingering bitterness. Very unique and bold. radagast83 (1317), Fairfax, Virginia, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 9, 2002 Actually, I’m quite impressed. This is very dry beer, somewhat like a good merlot wine. It is very smooth and very nice-looking: bright red body and thick white head. This is a sipping beer to go with a good steak.
