| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 3, 2007 Bottled. A deep reddish brown beer, with a rocky and creamy light brown head. Fruity complex aroma. The flavour is sweet malty, with some vinous and woody notes. The bitterness is very low, but enough to balance this beer. The body is quite powerful and the aftertaste is quite long. A great beer. WeeHeavySD (2960), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA

The nose is malty and slightly sweet. The taste is really right on. It is sweet, malty and tangy with bits of caramel and a variety of malt flavors. Delicious. TerryR (383), Oswego, Illinois, USA

Complex aroma - fruity, musty, grainy malts, alcohol and a touch of smoke. Flavor is caramel, malt, with some earthy yeast tones. Pepper hop finish. Very smooth and seamless for such a complex beer. Excellent.
