| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 15, 2006 Pours an orange amber color. Small white head. This beer is more malty than hoppy, and its rather astringent. Not too pleasant on the palate. The flavor is kinda fruity with some oak but it’s not very good. Tastes old. Could be an old bottle. In the end its not recommendable or enjoyable. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 13, 2006 This beer is in a category of its own. Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is sweet with some hops. The taste is mellowed by the barrel aging, leaving the hop taste without the bite. Good oak taste without the rotten-barrel aftertaste. skaughty (621), Marietta, Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 29, 2006 Bottle is so well labeled that I add an appearnce point. On to the contents...Clearly an English-style IPA,with less hops in the nose, but great hop balanceone the tongue. The oak doesn’timpart the usual vanilla flavor, but rather a pure woodiness that adds character and dryness. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 10, 2006 Bottle. Pours a golden amber with a decent white head. Nose is floral and malty. Flavors of hops and wood on the palate. Very interesting, almost a sherried IPA flavor. Somewhat sweet, but just short of getting it really right. Still enjoyed. A gift from Beervana. oldrtybastrd (1846), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 5, 2006 Pours a nice deep amber color. Aromas of hops/hops/citrus and maybe a touch of something woodsy. Strong hop flavors with malts and a nice dry finish. I was expecting a more pronounced oak or wood like flavor, but it seemed you really had to talk yourself in to believing it was there. Great beer none the less. winegarner (220), san diego, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Mar 3, 2006 I must say I expected more from this one. The aroma and the initial flavor are pretty good with nice hop and oak flavors. The problem is that there is no depth or finish with this beer, I would like to have more fruity malt flavors and a solid finish that leaves an enjoyable taste in my mouth. beervana (781), Libertyville, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 23, 2006 (02.22.06) 12 oz brown bottle purchased from DiCarlo’s, Mundelein, IL. 6% ABV. Pours orange amber with small white head and no discernable carbonation. Nose of fruity esters and sweet malt. Medium bodied ale that starts with light malt sweetness and fruity/toffee/oak wood/ toasted malt/hop flavors. Finishes dry with light malt fade and lingering bitterness. Some lingering wood flavor. Well balanced malt and hop. This is a tasty IPA. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 23, 2006 Pour was orange-amber. Fast rising and fast settling head. Nose was sour and woody. interesting. Taste was right on for an IPA, and traces of earth and wood. Good warming for the %6. Nice brew here folks, try this one. Thanks for the trade, I cannot remember from whom?
