| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 29, 2008 (USA) Pours a hazy orange color with lots of carbonation, sediments, and a sm-foamy white head. The aroma is of brown sugar, fruits, and spices. The taste is well balanced, with a caramel, some spices, hops, burt malts, and a warm alcohol finish. The 10% is presant but not overbearing. And there is some wonderful lacing in the glass. :) BrewCzar (108), St Louis, Missouri, USA
