Aroma was sweet and spicy and flavors were slightly bitter, but real nice. An exceptional brew. NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 20, 2005 Aroma is very hard to detect...very faint cola notes is all I pick up. Light brown with a firm finger thick head. I get the fruit cake notes mentioned the Commercial Descrip. and in fact this is VERY bready. Mild spice in there as well. The cake/bread notes are extremely long lasting and start from the middle and stay well into the aftertaste. I like beers like this that have a feel good aftertaste that lingers a long while.

Rich malty beginning with a bitter finish. Basically a kicked up ESB. Very enjoyable. 1FastSTi (2590), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 5, 2005 Poured from a 16.9 oz bottle, this beer has a huge creamy/rocky/fizzy beige head with beautiful lacing atop a clean reddish copper colored body. The aroma smells like a strong cinnamon stick and gingerbread cordial. Do they make such a thing? Perhaps not, but this beer kinda smells like it. Alcoholic walnuts and green maraschino cherries. Light green tobacco. Very strange aroma. The flavor has a finish of chocolate and is initially chicory coffee. Bitter malts/hops. Perhaps a little over-roasted? I don’t think Goldings are this bitter. Light iced tea and gingerbread flavor as well. The palate is rich and dry, medium/full bodied. oldrtybastrd (1846), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA

Aromas of carame,l butterscotch, tobacco, and hint of coffee. Flavor is big roasty malts and then a nice blast of hops to finish with. sfhc21 (74), Midlothian, Texas, USA
