| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 4, 2009 12oz bottle as a generous extra, Cliff or Brendan I think! Pours a cloudy dark gold with a medium head. Flowery, caramel bouquet. Sweet with a rosy flavor, vanilla, a little oak. Not dry or balanced enough, just too much sweet malt, kind of overbearing.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 2, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a nice oaky brown with a fairly large, but not nearly as large as the regular version, head. Aroma is loaded with oak, lots of coconut and vanilla, and the base beer is definitely still there as well. Flavor matches the aroma very well, a nice graininess, alcohol is present, but nice and warming, and the oak really accentuates the malt sweetness and leaves some toastiness and tannins on the finish. lithy (1750), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
