| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 2, 2006 (On tap) at The Great Lost Bear in Portland Maine. Malty scent, pours a dark amber, its a rich slightly bitter brew. It hides the alchol well because I couldn’t tell it was 7%. Overall a quality beer, though I wish it was a bit more complex. bu11zeye (5550), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 24, 2006 This is a nice and flavorful Strong Ale. I really enjoyed this beer on tap and it does not lose much to the bottle which was really nice to see. Great beer! thornecb (1792), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 24, 2006 Pours bright amber into a trappist glass. Off-white conglomerate head skims surface and subsides. Burnt orange and caramel notes. Creamy with upfront caramel/honey with turns to a lasting bitter finish. jimbowood (956), Athens, Georgia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 5, 2006 Bottle. Smelled strong with I first opened the bottle. Not heavy, as I thought it would be. Nice hop, and bitter balance. nahthan (129), Oakland, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 2, 2006 Big beer, excellent malt flavors. A decent alcohol percentage, but the alcohol doesn’t taste heavy or hot. Hop presence, but I wouldn’t say that this is overly bitter or too strong of a hop flavor. A very well done beer, very different than the approach used by west coast brewers. crzybob77 (528), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 2, 2006 Very dry hop flavor. Not too crazy about this beer. It just doesnt offer much in the taste.
