| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 18, 2006 Poured into a Duvel glass. Poured a darker cherry red with a frothy dirty white head. Some lace left behind. Kind of an earthy dried leaf and mushroom aroma. The aroma gets a touch sweeter is it warms. Wish there was some more malty character, and maybe a touch of smoke. The flavor isn’t anything special either. Some earth dirty notes. A touch of chocolate. Pickly bitter finish. Lots of distracting carbonation. KAggie97 (2420), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jul 14, 2006 Boittle. Pours dark brown with a nice head and delicate lacing. Aroma is an old barn that once housed spices and hay. Earthy tones in the nose as well. Very spicy flavor, with cinammony yeast being very noticeable. A bit of carrot seems to be in the finish somewhere. Very earthy and demanding. Palate presents a quickly fading flavor that leaves an acidic bitterness. It’s a little better than average.
