Tastes quite complex.. woody, with strong malts and caramel sweetness. This gives way to a subtle bitterness and eventual alcohol warmth. I’m into this, however this cask-conditioned version differed greatly from the bottle I first had. SuIIy (1452), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA

Nose is nice and sweet, hints of vanilla and malt, some dark fruits and a slight doughiness. Taste is vanilla and coconut, some light alcohol warmth and taste there, bourbon, a full finish with some good malt and a touch of the doughiness. bigrond (1046), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 28, 2005 One night, my friends and I made the mistake of going threeway on a Harpoon variety case. It had This concoction, an Ale, an IPA, and a UFO. They all sucked, this one sucking the least. I’ve had worse but this was not worth the price or the anguish of downing 4 of these. The other two guys gave the rest to me and they’re still sitting in my fridge two weekends later, if anyone is interested. bostonjoe (10), boston, USA

Hoppy aroma, with caramel and coca-cola, cloudy brown, wee tan head. Heavy malt taste, with caramel and treacle. Medium bodied, quite bitter. Well done! slang (399), Columbia, South Carolina, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 15, 2005 Bottle - Pours a dark black/brown in color with very little head or carbonation. Aroma is of malt and slight of roasted malt. Some hop, but not much. Flavor is light of malt with a roasty undertone. Some coffee and very faint hint of chocolate. Mildly bitter. Finish lingers with some medium hop bitterness. This is not an exceptional beer, but is is easy drinking. Worth finishing the 6-er... :)
