| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 25, 2008 Draft. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet and very malty, which gives it notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with quite a lot of alcohol and malt as well as a touch of whiskey. kp (8399), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 14, 2005 Ruby brown, light off-white cover. Juicy cherries and fat diacetyl jam/margarine. Vegetal leaning on the tongue with an almost carrot roots reminiscent mellow bitterness. Dry finish reminds of a red wine. Oily juicy texture. Surprisingly uninteresting.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 17, 2007 Pours a transparent copper bronze with a nicely-lacing off-white head. Aroma of earthy English hops and sweet pale malt. Body starts with a full earthy caramel malty sweetness with some drier bittering hoppy notes and a touch of light fruity complexity. A nice English strong ale that hides its alcohol well. MartinT (5055), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 14, 2005 The Lure: Diacetyl apples and caramel cherries repulse most, save for those with a fat tooth.
The Festivities: Yeasty bitterness and miscellaneous fruit thankfully are left alone by the looming butter monster. It’s only a question of time though I’m sure. Body is light and boring, and does not nurture nor does it encourage quaffing.
Transcendence: Too much butter is bad for the heart.
