| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 27, 2009 Bottle shared by Justin: Pours a slightly hazy deep golden with a clingy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of slightly oaked grassy horseblanket and tart cherries with a touch of sweet pale malt. Starts with an earthy grassy funk and pale malty sweetness with some light peaty smoke and fruity tartness with a touch of butter toward the finish. Pretty unique with a lot of funky tartness and sour fruity oak. badgerben (3599), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Bottle 0838. Almost clear gold color with a thin head. Very light whisky aroma. Hints of heather. Floral taste, both of heather and some light hopping. Sweet grains. Light, sweet whisky. Even after warming up past cellar temp, it never really seemed to jump out. The heather and whisky seemed to have canceled each other. Rciesla (3610), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Sampled from a 0.75 L corked bottle@Cardinal, Stavanger. A brilliant, copper colored beer with a coarse, mediumsized, blond foamy head on top. Fruity, vinous aroma, both sweet and kind of tart. Faint caramel, spices, vanilla, and a distinct alcohol smell. Thinnish malt body, lightly sweet, also with a certain acidity. There is fine fruitiness there, too. Caramel, some herbal notes, and an alcohol sting all the way throughout. Surpringsly light-bodied. Dry, warming ending. j12601 (1246), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA

Bottle at Paul’s tasting. Pours a clear golden amber with a thin white head. Sweet heather, hay, whisky. Slightly astringent sourness, almost plastic flavor. Tough to drink. Finishes up with some lingering booze notes. Way too hot.
