| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 10, 2009 355mL. Awesome. Poured a clear amber with an enormous yellow head that has awesome retention and leaves excellent lacing. Spicy rye aroma with some strawberries, All-Bran cereal, cream of wheat, caramel malt, cornbread, brown sugar....very earthy. Taste is excellent: massive hop backbone with rye toast, earthiness, buttered biscuit. A killer session beer! LIke drinking spiked brown sugar cream of wheat. MrPickles (113), Wisconsin, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 10, 2009 Pours a deep dark red amber with a off white head with a red hue. Aromas of burnt hops and malts like caramel. Flavor is a little bready with undertones of caramel and crisp hops with a sort of earthy overtone like it was aged or barreled. Clean finish. For some reason when I drink this, its like I’m drinking an "old school" kinda beer. italianjohn (346), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA
