Aroma is sweet, lots of caramel, vanilla, and pine.
Taste is smooth, fair amount of heat, not too much. Citrus and pine from the hops, not as hoppy as expected, but very bright hop notes, smooth sweetness, not candy like. toffee, caramel, berries, grapefruit, Slightly chewy. DJMonarch (6845), Northwich, Cheshire, England

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jun 27, 2009 Intense copper color with a marvelous living head. Heavy caramel malt in the aroma with hops in the background. The flavor is good, but the best part is the palate how it starts off dry and a little bitter and has a small tingle with a a short but powerful carbonation. It’s got some very nice clean oak taste to it too. The haevy malt is well balanced by the intense hops. It comes in pretty tame at 10+% and highly tolerable. The finish is pleasant. Sip this and good times will follow... randolphjj (98), Raymore, Missouri, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 20, 2009 copper / mahogany color with an off-white head. Malty nose - caramel, (seemingly mellow, indeed...)
Bitterness without a hop resin on the tongue - or really even a particularly big hop nose. Great divide seems to do a nice job hiding high alcohol with solid flavor, and this is no different. mirjukka (705), LOHJA, Finland
