| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 10, 2005 Bottle: Orange, copper tint, moderate pillowy off-white head, spotty lacing, very light carbonation.   Slightly spiced bready aroma, soft vegetable.   Sweet malty flavor, still remains vegetal on the backside.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Malty finish, subtle graininess.   Not bad, but very average for an English Strong Ale.   Veggie aspect turns me off from this one.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2005 I got this one in a trade with mkgrenwell, a nice little bonus. This type of beer usually isn’t my style, but I found this one quite drinkable. I don’t know if I could make a night out of it, but it was something I wouldn’t mind revisiting. walleye (881), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 4, 2005 from the bottle. poured deep amber with a smal off white head. aroma, sweet berries, honey, cherries, caramel, toffee, malt and hops. flavor, didn’t let me down the flavor was just like the aroma, but the honey took a back seat to the rest of the flavors and got a nice touch of alcohol. a good beer.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 28, 2005 Like a slightly sweeter syrupy-tinted brown ale. A pleasantly sharp drinker with notes of spruce, wheat bread, and toffee. Mild vanilla and allspice...? Not bad, a dark brown with a diminishing medium-bubbled tannish head. ehhdayton (1113), USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 22, 2005 A slightly malty aroma and an reddish brown hue to the color. There is a sweetness at first but then the finish is bitter. LilKem (1210), Marietta, Ohio, USA
