| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 10, 2008 Apple aromas, sweet malts, hints of caramel in the nose. Pours an amber brown with no head. Roasted malts, sweet caramel, with a balancing hop bitterness, there is a nice earthiness to it. Not bad, but nothing to bring me back to it. jcwattsrugger (5403), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
