| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 12, 2009 Not overly good as the winter brews go. I like a little flavor and this one just doesn’t provide anything special. Perhaps some would say it is so nuanced that I don’t get it, but I just don’t find much here. Will give it a second attempt though as I got two bottles as a gift. MagooinPA (99), Warminster, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 10, 2009 12oz pour. Big fluffy, white head and lace through out. Nice nose except the missing aroma of peat. i like a little more smoke but this beer is very balanced and smooth as silk. I will buy this again as a whole case. A good session beer for NFL playoff football. dmac (1466), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 7, 2009 Draft at the Ivy League. Poured a brown/red with a smaller tan head. Aroma took a long time to warm up enough to be noticed but when it finally did it was just some chocolate malts with a slight touch of spice. Flavor had some spice undertones over a malt body with a slight bitter finish. Perhaps if this beer was served at a decent temperature it would have been more enjoyable but then again with 160 ratings and a 3.21 average maybe not. thornecb (1777), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 1, 2009 Pours deep amber into a shaker. Off-white head quickly dissapears. Deep malt aroma. Dry caramel and nutmeg from front to back. FROTHINGSLOSH (2010), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 30, 2008 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium caramel-brown color with a large tan head. The aroma was sweet and malty with touches of caramel and fruits. The flavor was bitter, tangy and fruity with a hint of caramel and nut. The finish was long, bitter and fruity. Decent. boFNjackson (1299), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 24, 2008 Bottle... Poured amber with a light, beige head. Sweet, leafy malt on the nose. A nice bitterness in the flavors that was not in the aroma. Spicy and earthy which created a soothing-warming feel. No hop flavors and had a solid malt dominance with a smoked undertone.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber body with a an off white head. Big malty caramel body with a note of honey scotch and spices. Big bitter hop note finish thin and slightly sour. Eh not for me. cheapdark (2017), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Dec 16, 2008 S5L3F2T4O8 HIBERNATOR Nice beery aroma. Has some gunk on the bottom of the bottle. A brownish color beer with some orange tinge. Cloudy on top because of the gunk from the bottle. Initial taste is acceptable then it develops a medicinal feel about the maltiness. Finish is bitter medicinal linger. Hangs for a while.
