| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 24, 2008 Strong molasses malts, with light chocolate malts, some light hops and a tangy butter, brown sugar aroma. Pour is a frothy, off-white head that goes away completely covering a light amber body. Taste is malty and a bit nutty upfront with some light hop bitterness in the finish. Watery mouthfeel, fizzy carbonation. GJF (512), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 22, 2008 Nice deep golden color, small white head. The palate is creamy and the flavor is thick, a nice mellow bitterness on the finish. It’s quite good, but it’s a fairly safe, standard version of an ESB. shackinetics (132), Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 22, 2008 Amber/copper color with thin head. A somewhat hoppy citrus nose. Well balanced, smooth biscuit malt flavoring. Not as hoppy as my favorites, but a solid beer. Gonna have to find more left hand offerings. popephred (193), Plainfield, Illinois, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Feb 22, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a dark amber body with a medium off-white head which lingered throughout. Caramel and hops notes in its aroma, with signs of malt. Medium mouthfeel, with moderate bitterness, along with medium carbonation. Good hops flavor with a slight nutty sweetness. Not bad, a little metallic, though not bad at all. dp (512), uniontown, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 21, 2008 on tap, good somewhat sweet tasting malt, carbonated about right, did not particularly notice the hops that they are talking about, first left hand in some time, usually a good brewery mugabe (219), Sweden
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Feb 20, 2008 Bottle. Copper colour, medium head. Slightly smoked aroma. Rather watery palate and bland flavour, without much of a finish. Not bad, but not very good either. mybestfriend (262), Gothenburg, Sweden
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Pours an amber colour with an off-white head. Hoppy on the nose - mostly lemon peel - also some malty caramel notes. Taste is a bit hoppy with some caramel notes. Very thin on the mid-palate! The finish is quite watery with some bitterness. I was a bit disappointed by this one. CelticBrew (707), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 12, 2008 Pours light amber brown forming little to no foamy head. Aroma of malts, some hops, a bit of caramel with nut spice. Flavour is of a somewhat typical bitter, malty with some nutty, caramel finish. Not my fave style, but drinkable. Seems like theres some vanilla extract in there too. Overall fair beer, drinkable but not what I would keep in my frig.
