| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 12, 2005 Bottle. Maple syrup and cherry aroma. Opaque black-brown color with slight head. Light sweet maple flavor with a strong hops finish. Don’t know why any English beer had a maple flavor - maybe it’s just me. Still not too bad - sweetness light and not cloying. slang (407), Columbia, South Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 10, 2005 Decently large beige head over dark brown (there could be purple here... or maybe not :)
). Nose is VERY sweet w/ rasins. The taste is equally sweet, all malts, that equal up to honey and more dark fruits. Theres even a little alcohol here. Good, just too sweet for me. Kåstå (1149), Mol, Belgium
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 5, 2005 Rather dark red amber coloured beer with a medium disappearing head. Light sour fruity aroma. The taste is surprisingly fresh with a bitter fruitiness. The finish is light bitter. FrankJohansen (3370), Århus-Randers Crew, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 2, 2005 Red brownish colour with an off white, some what lasting head. Taste of fruit, licorice and malt. Lasting bitter taste. tsp (113), Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 21, 2005 (Bottle) Pours near black, with red notes. Off-white head. Notes of oak, liquorice, malts and lemons in the taste. Fruity notes is present as well. GREAT! CaptKirk (175), Hephzibah, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 20, 2005 I was lucky enough to find this beer. It comes only in 16.9oz bottle, but I was prepared for the challenge. This was a dark color with a light tan head that disappeared quickly. A oak smell quickly overcomes you. The first sip is very smooth with a small alcohol bit that does not stay. Very creamy with a slight fruity aftertaste that is not unpleasant. I would definitely recommend giving this a try blankboy (3251), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 8, 2005 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry at Chester’s Beers of the World in Hamilton -- Vintage 1998. Pours a bubbly dark auburn with a somewhat lasting creamy tan head. Aroma of sour fruit, melon (thanks Harry!), malt and alcohol. Flavour of malt and fruit is surprisingly fresh & smooth tasting for a 7 year old beer! Very unique and enjoyable, I hope to have it again.
