| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 14, 2008 Wow I really liked this brew. Its malty brown with scents of roasted caramel. Its fairly havey in the mouth and tastes fo matly goodness, some bitter hops and a slight bit of pine. The bitter finish lasts a good long time. Superbly balanced. blipp (1764), Newark, New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours red/brown with a sticky tan head. Aroma is piny hops first, which give way to caramel, roast, and fruit. Medium/full body. Smoke and roast hit the tongue first, followed by a sweeter caramel and fruit note and finishes with a nice grassy and piny bitterness. Very good. MrChopin (705), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 4, 2008 Rich red-Mahagony with small off-white head. Chocolate, caramel, roast malts, and fruit dominate the nose. Flavor is salty malt dominance with caramel, but the hops really add some balance. Palate is perhaps a little sticky. Great Divide wins again. smith4498 (951), Miami, Florida, USA
