| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 13, 2004 The Lure: Lazy, sweet earthy molasses slowly being overtaken by creeping oxidation. Sensual silky lacing envelops the ochre, blood orange garment.
The Festivities: Softspoken caramel and earthy malts introduce a lenient roasted malt bitterness. An ample body you feel more than you taste.
Transcendence: A hearty, traditional dinner at the in-laws will probably not illuminate your tastebuds, but they sure know how to make you feel well fed, don’t they? tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 7, 2004 Sweet caramel, raw, fresh tobacco, herbal aroma. Clear copper-brown with decent off-white/tan head that recedes to cover. Fair bitterness with a light, sweet malty supporting body. Body is perhaps a bit thin, but overall, very enjoyable. Sampled at the brewpub with Rastacouere. Lubiere (4536), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
