| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 3, 2004 2003 Vintage - More head than any other Gale’s I ahve ever seen, though it is still not very large. Cloudy amber-brown. Cinnnamon, spices and plastic dominate the aroma. Light caramel sweetness. Flavor is more sweet but spice is the story here. Full syrupy palate. Too much spice for me.
