| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 18, 2008 Funky caramel apple aroma sits atop a mostly clear, reddish amber ale with a nice and thick, light tan head. Lots of caramel in the mouth, a little barnyard twang, some sour green apples, and slight bitterness at the swallow. Velvety mouthfeel, mildly rich. A pretty nice quaff. Thanks André 5000. drewbeerme (2291), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 10, 2008 22 oz. bomber. Smooth, clear amber pour, with a smallish head. Sweet, malty, slightly herbal nose is quite prominent. Just the right amount of bite on the tongue to balance the malts, a light citrus tang all the way down. This is a really nice late winter/early spring brew. Beershine (2710), Traipsing Around, Cambodia
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 6, 2008 Smells earthy like mushrooms, truffles, and roast beef. Nice. Spiky mouthfeel. Good, substantial and well-structured palate. Like old worn velvet: not as soft as it could be but still noble. Earthy, dark flavors like mushroom sauce or broth. Good bittering notes. Mature. riversideAK (2742), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 3, 2008 Dark amber with a nice frothy head. Aroma of sweet toffee malt with some citrus hops in the back. The flavor is the same. Toffee, some floral and citrus hops, and a good amount of English Malt sweetness. Finishes mildly bitter and somewhat crisp. Was nothing really all that special, but it was nice.
