The aroma was overwhelmingly honey. The taste was also full of honey but was not too sweet and was quite pleasant. bu11zeye (5655), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 3, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a clear amber with a medium-sized creamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet (fruitiness, caramel) and somewhat musty. Flavor of sweet caramel and mild hops. Tastes really fresh. graham515 (434), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 28, 2007 Pours a ruby reddish orange into the glass with a nice white head on it. The aroma is really quite nice and is full of dark fruit aromas along with the sugary smell of sweet malt. The flavor really is true to the aroma of this beer with an exceptional malt backbone that hides the 7.2% very well. This beer is relatively light as it sweeps across the palate but has enough presence to really be enjoyed. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 22, 2007 poured a nice copper color with a medium size head. A nice malty aroma with some bread notes and a light caramel note. Flavor was subtly sweet with malty notes, at times seeming one dementional. fishingnet (1047), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 21, 2007 Tap @ Mellow Mushroom Brandon, Fl. Pours a clear copper with a one finger white head that lasts leaving good lacing. Aroma is fresh malt and a light note of caramel malt. Taste is the same as aroma with a well balanced bitterness. Medium thin mouthfeel that finishes dry and bitter. Very good. NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 20, 2007 Low intensity malt aroma with mild candied fruit notes. The body is a bright amber/copper and supports a nice looking, two finger thick, white head that is mostly lasting. Very malty fore, some cramel and faint fruit and grain notes. Very low bitterness. A malt driven experience from start to finish and a tasty one. jdhunt76 (56), Winter Springs, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 17, 2007 Bottle and on tap. Copper amber color, rich malty flavor with hops emerging. Crisp, clean finish. Very flavourful for a lager. I have had this by itself, and at a tasting side be side with Rogue Dead Guy Ale, which is based on a maibock recipe, but fermented with ale yeast instead of lager yeast. Fascinating pairing, as you can really taste and see the difference made by the ale yeast.
