| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 10, 2006 Bottled. Hazy golden, near no head. Aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and raspberries. Medium sweet and medium bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Rather spicy with a somewhat salty finish with medium bitternesss. A good beer, but the malt profile is not on par with the best examples of the style. kp (8396), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 21, 2007 Pours a clear dark golden with a thin ring of wispy white head. Sweet, biscuity Belgian malty aroma has a doughy yeasty character and a hint of grassiness. Starts lightly sugary sweet with some earthy spiced balance and a drier, bready finish. Fairly authentic and well-balanced. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 25, 2007 Pours a cloudy amber with a thin ring of bubbles. Smells of sweet malt, dough, some spice. Tastes of sugar, molasses and some peppery splashes. Unbalanced and overdone. BückDich (4851), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Bottle: Misty gold color, light head and lacing. The nose is a bit malty with some pale and pilsner malts, spicy yeast esters, tons of coriander and clove with a bright orange note. A full sweet pale malt flavor that’s nearly cloying when it pairs with the spice and yeast zest. The finish is grassy and sweet; very spicy. Needs more carbonation, a bit more funk and a bit less sweetness.
