| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 3, 2008 Clear, carbonated, dark brown-red body with a small white head. Nose is quite sugary with raisins and bread crust. Flavor is sweet with lots of sugary malt and a syrupy caramel dominating, alcohol present in the background. Something reminds me of vanilla ice cream. Full bodied and foamy, this is definitely a beer to sip. A little rich for me. desurfer (1067), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Bottle at Peculier Pub. Raisins, alcohol, maybe some molasses. Smooth, but still weighty in the mouth. Just not my thing? LilBeerDoctor (1489), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Cool bottle. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of raisins and alcohol. Flavor pretty much dominated by raisins and sweetness. Heavy palate and rather undrinkable. Not a fan. hellbilly (1508), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 22, 2008 pours a dark woody reddish brown with a medium sized off white head. smells like golden raisins that have been sitting around a bit too long and have started to spontaneously ferment. oh yeah, there’s some wood, malty grain and vanilla in there too. the palate is not as sweet as the aroma led me to believe... flavors of golden raisins without their sugar, grain, a bit of yeast and banana-like fruitiness from it, caramel, tiny bits of tannic leather and cocoa. a bit dry and woody on the finish. the yeasty fruit is present in the aftertaste. medium body with low carbonation. rather rich mouth feel but luckily not sticky. warm and boozy in the guts... oteyj (724), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 22, 2008 Pours reddish brown with one finger white head that dissapates into a thin film. Nose of cider, fermented fruits and sugary malt. Flavor is intensely sweet malt, but not cloying at all. Residual sugars are ever present, but not overwhelming. Palate is full but not viscous. Smooth and warming, with some alcohol near the finish. Somewhat dry finish. Not overly complex in terms of the malt character, but supremely tastey and quaffable.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 22, 2008 Dark mahogany pour with dissipating head. Heavy malty flavor with alcohol presence. non too complex. A mouthful of yummy malt with a finish of alcohol and tad bit of date.
